Oh Mihdi, on a trouvé Cinq petits cailloux dans ta poche, Chaque pierre, un secret caché, Témoignant de ton chemin sans reproche. Le premier caillou, une lueur d'or, Symbole de ta foi et de ton amour, Brillant comme un trésor, Guidant ceux qui cherchent le jour. Le deuxième, rugueux et humble,
Rappelle ton humilité, ton humble cœur, Toujours prêt à servir, sans encombre, Dans l'ombre comme dans la splendeur. Le troisième, lisse et pur, Évoque ta pureté d'esprit, Ton âme lumineuse et sûre, Dans chaque acte, un rêve accompli. Le quatrième, un éclat de sagesse, Porte le poids de tes réflexions profondes, Ton esprit clair, sans détresse, Enseigne la paix à travers le monde. Le cinquième, petit et discret, Cache ton humble modestie, Ta grâce douce et secrète, Une leçon pour toute l'humanité. Ces cailloux dans ta poche, Mihdi, Racontent ton histoire avec éclat, Chaque pierre une part de ta vie, Un testament à ton noble combat. Que ces petits trésors soient notre guide, Pour marcher sur tes pas, sans dévier, Oh Mihdi, dans chaque coin sombre, un guide, Ta lumière brille, éternelle et vraie.

Death of the Purest Branch in Akka

Death of the Purest Branch in Akka June 23rd, 1870,  Mirza Mihdi (the Purest Branch, Baha'u'llah's youngest son) falls through a skylight in the prison. Baha'u'llah offers to heal him but Mirza Mihdi instead offers his life as a sacrifice so that those who desire may undertake pilgrimages. Baha'u'llah accepts and the Purest Branch dies at age 22. 70 years later, his body is entombed in the Monument Gardens on Mount Carmel.     Bahá’u’lláh referred to Mírzá Mihdí on the day of his death as "he that was created by the light of Bahá" and described his dying "at a time when he lay imprisoned at the hands of his enemies" as a "martyrdom." In the same tablet, Bahá’u’lláh extols Mírzá Mihdí’s station: "Happy art thou in that thou hast been faithful to the Covenant of God and His Testament, until Thou didst sacrifice thyself before the face of thy Lord, the Almighty, the Unconstrained. Thou, in truth, hast been wronged, and to this...

In reproducing the photograph of the "Purest Branch" so lovingly sent by the maid-servant of God, Fareeza Khanum, to the friends in the Occident, the following extracts from the "Life and Teachings of Abbas Effendi" (Abdul-Baha) by Myron H. Phelps, relating how the "Purest Branch" came to his death, will be of interest: "We were imprisoned in the barracks, without any substantial change in our manner of life, for two years. During this time none of us left the prison. One evening towards the end of the second year, my younger brother came, as was his habit, to write for his Father. But as he was not very well, and as others of the family were also ill, the Blessed Perfection (Baha'o'llah) told him to go and come later. So he went up to the flat roof of the barracks, where we were accustomed to walk, and which was our only recourse for fresh air and exercise. He was walking up and down repeating Tablets and gazing at the sky, when he stumbled, ...

The Focal Centre "three incomparably precious souls " The Transfer of the Remains of his Body    The long years of preparation - outside in the body of the Bahá'í world through the erection of the machinery of the Administrative Order, inside its heart through the erection of the superstructure of the Shrine of the Báb and the general consolidation of the World Centre - had involved the creation of a Spot suitable to form the "focal centre", as Shoghi Effendi termed it, of the mightiest institutions of the Faith. This Spot was no less than the resting-places of the mother, sister and brother of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, those "three incomparably precious souls", as he called them, "who, next to the three Central Figures of our Faith, tower in rank above the vast multitude of the heroes, Letters, martyrs, hands, teachers and administrators of the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh." It had long been the desire of the Greatest Holy Leaf to lie near her m...
