Pondering the Fire Tablet: Reflections on Bahá’u’lláh’s “Fire Tablet”

The last paragraph of BahÃ¡â€™uâ€™llÃ¡hâ€™s â€œFire Tabletâ€ advises that: â€œthe servants read and ponder thisâ€¦â€ This essay suggests ways to do that and become enchanted with that unique Tablet. Here is what some readers have said:

â€œI have to admit that the Fire Tablet was not my favorite spiritual reference. I was usually over-whelmed and lacking the understanding to its many referencesâ€¦.This (booklet) has read like a cliff hanger for me â€“ reading as fast as I could to see what more explanation you could present. I will now go thru the book slowly and gather the many pieces of â€˜ponderingâ€™ it shares!â€

â€œIlluminating! It brings the Tablet to life!â€
â€œRefreshing new views, suggesting other insights to be discovered.â€

â€œIt is a â€˜sweetâ€™, thoughtful, in-depth (but of course not exhaustive) study of the Tablet. I found it stretching my intellect, spiritual perceptive and my knowledge of the English language. The humility with which you approach the Tablet, the reflections and questions you offer are totally without affectation.â€

â€œIt makes me want to search for more.â€
â€œI became aware of much that never occurred to me before.â€

â€œYour extended essay on the Fire Tablet provides a reader who is relatively unfamiliar with the text an irresistible invitation to read and ponder it. For one who is already in love with this Tablet, it can no doubt enrich their understanding, as you approach the text from a number of different directions, all engaging and enticing.â€
