Narrative In Pursuance Of Books The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys
This is my favorite of all of Baha'u'llah's writings. I've worn out several copies and given away several more. Finally gotten smart and have a hardbound copy for devotions and a paperback that goes everywhere with me.Every time I read the Seven Valleys I get so much more out of it—insights and epiphanies as well as songs. The language is the language of the Poet, the result is absolute clarity.

The Seven (and Four) Valleys was a great read about the stages of the spiritual journey and becoming united with the Divine. It's a Baha'i text (look it up if you don't know Baha'i religion) written to Sufis, and therefore takes on a beautiful poetic form à la Rumi. I really enjoyed reading it, and my favorite part about it was how poetry and spiritual perspectives intertwine to make me see the Divine differently, and in a more beauty-centric, romantic way.Born in 1817, Bahá'u'lláh was a member of one of the great patrician families of Persia. The family could trace its lineage to the ruling dynasties of Persia's imperial past, and was endowed with wealth and vast estates. Turning His back on the position at court which these advantages offered Him, Bahá'u'lláh became known for His generosity and kindliness which made Him deeply loved among His
"kitab suci"...gak tau harus ngasih bintang berapa :P
This is an excellent book, although I assume most people would declare it strange. When our planet is cruising on its orbit in space, and the sun is on the other side of our planet, I try to read one chapter of this book at that time. I believe it serves its purpose.
only got 4 stars because I felt there was a lot I didn't understand the first time around. Need to go back for a reread.
A fantastic look into the 7 different levels of spiritual development. (Search, Love, Knowledge, Unity, Contentment, Wonderment, True Poverty and Absolute Nothingness). A fantastic read. Interesting to find out just what valley I was in, and how far i have to go to get to the 7th. I learned that I may not make it to the 7th valley in this world.
A mystical adventure. This book is different than other Bahá'í books that I've read over the decades. I find it easier to understand at my age now, than when I first read it as a youth.
