Abdul Baha on Divine Philosophy eBook Abdul Baha
This is an old book. There is no easily found publication date nor is the author's name recorded anywhere. It seems to be written in 1920's as the author refers to the founder of the Baha'i Faith as "Baha'o'llah", which is an early transliteration of the now standard spelling of "Baha'u'llah". The author spends a few pages on the rise of the Baha'i religion, makes mention of Tolstoi and his admiration for Baha'u'llah, and quickly moves to an almost eye-witness account of the eldest son of Baha'u'llah, Abbass, titled Abdul-Baha ( means the Servant of Baha ). The author may have actually been in the presence of Abdul-Baha as he quotes him in Paris, although it is not clear if that is indeed the case or he is quoting someone who was present and recorded his conversations. The book is an easy read and focuses on the talks of Abdul-Baha in Paris ( 1910-1911 ). Reference to the kingdom of "El-Abha" ( Kingdom of God , or Kingdom of Abha ) once again leads one to believe that this is an old book, written in the early 1920's. His talks on subjects related to "education", "science", "nobility of man", "equality of the sexes", "unity" and common purpose of all religions are the main focus of this book. Perhaps that is the reason the author called it 'Abdul-baha on Divine Philosophy'. The reference to the importance of educating girls is, in the context of the time, revolutionary. So is the reference to the purpose of religion as "must be the cause of affection" and that "should it become the source of hatred, of warfare, it were better that it should not exist" ! That is still a revolutionary concept, more than a century later !I specially like the cover. It is a picture of Abdul-Baha and seems to be signed by him ( the little scribble on the Turkish fez - his head dress ) .
There is much to learn from this little book. Given it's old fragrance, it feels even more like you have discovered an old forgotten treasure-book in the back shelves of your school library !

Abdul Baha on Divine Philosophy eBook Abdul Baha Reviews
I found this work to be beautifully written, very enlightening and thought provoking. This is a book for the ages.
Beautiful histories
Great book!
Like a breath of sweet clean air to read another account of the Master's journey and teachings in Paris, with so many beautiful little anecdotes - for example learning that the baby Abdu'l-Baha's first word was Ya Baha El Abha!
Very informative! I want to keep this book right next to me at all times so I can try to really inhale the fragrances frequently as time goes by! So glad it is on my iPad.
For anyone wondering, this is a compilation of early talks put together by Elizabeth Fraser Chamberlain in 1918. It's not considered an authoritative text in the Baha'i Faith; Shoghi Effendi declined permission to have it republished due to the contents having unverified remarks. However, it does give a sense of how early Western Bahá'ís were first introduced to the teachings.
For most of his life `Abdu'l-Baha was an exile and prisoner, but despite this he was an fountain of love and wisdom. Here is an example of the eloquence and wisdom in his words.
"Love the creatures for the sake of God and not for themselves. You will never become angry or impatient if you love them for the sake of God. Humanity is not perfect. There are imperfections in every human being, and you will always become unhappy if you look toward the people themselves. But if you look toward God, you will love them and be kind to them, for the world of God is the world of perfection and complete mercy".
