The Greatest Divine Institute – the Mashriqu’l-Adhkar
The Mashriqu'l-Adhkar [Baha’i temple] is the most important
matter and the greatest divine institute. Consider how the first institute of
his holiness Moses, after his exodus from Egypt was the 'Tent of Martyrdom'
which he raised and which was the traveling temple. It was a tent which they
pitched in the desert wherever they abode, and worshipped in it. Likewise,
after his holiness Christ - May the spirit of the world be a sacrifice to Him -
the first institute by the disciples was a temple. They planned a church in
every country. Consider the Gospel, (i.e., read it), and the importance of the
Mashriqu'l-Adhkar will become evident.
