Prayers for Unity: Martin Luther King Day Special

Today's podcast interweaves quotes by Dr. King with Baha’i Writings I bear witness that the eye of creation hath never gazed upon one wronged like thee. Through the faculty of meditation, man attains to eternal life. Through it he receives the breath of the Holy Spirit. Compare the nations of the world to the members of a family. A family is a nation in miniature. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr:  I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the ... Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice. God’s purpose in sending His prophets unto men is twofold. First is to liberate the children of man from the darkness of ignorance, and guide them to the light of true understanding. The second is to ensure the peace and tranquillity of mankind. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr: A nation, that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than of programs of social uplift, is approaching spiritual death. The highest station, the supreme sphere, the noblest, most sublime position in creation… is that of the prophets of God. The words that have descended from heaven of the will of God are the source of unity and harmony in the world. Close your eyes to racial differences and welcome all to the light of oneness. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr: Power without love isreckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. O Thou kind Lord, Thou hast created all humanity from the same stock. Thou hast decreed that all shall belong to the same household.
