灵性的真实


人还有第三种真实,就是灵性的真实。由此,人可以发现精神的启示。这是一个天界的官能,和(人的)智能及肉身相对而言它是无限的。这个力量由圣灵的气息赋予了人。它是永恒的、不可摧毁的真实,属于神圣、超自然的灵界。由此真实世界得以照亮,也由此人获得了永恒的生命。这第三种灵性的真实能发现往昔的事件,也可以能看见未来的远景。它是真实之阳的一道光,照亮精神的世界,整个上天的王国也由此得到光明。它在极乐世界——一个没有起始,也应该是没有终结的世界——里享福。——阿博都巴哈

(2015年)

Yet there is a third reality in man, the spiritual reality. Through its medium one discovers spiritual revelations, a celestial faculty which is infinite as regards the intellectual as well as physical realms. That power is conferred upon man through the breath of the Holy Spirit. It is an eternal reality, an indestructible reality, a reality belonging to the divine, supernatural kingdom; a reality whereby the world is illumined, a reality which grants unto man eternal life. This third, spiritual reality it is which discovers past events and looks along the vistas of the future. It is the ray of the Sun of Reality. The spiritual world is enlightened through it, the whole of the Kingdom is being illumined by it. It enjoys the world of beatitude, a world which had not beginning and which shall have no end.——‘Abdu’l-Bahá
