He was immediately seized and questioned by those who wished to elicit information which would help them in the further persecutions of Bahá’u’lláh. Badí would not answer a word; then they tortured him, still he held his peace! After three days they killed him, having failed to force him to speak! These cruel men photographed him whilst he was under torture.(7) The _Sh_áh gave the letter from Bahá’u’lláh to the priests that they might explain it to him. After some days these priests told the _Sh_áh that the letter was from a political enemy. The _Sh_áh grew angry and said, ‘This is no explanation. I pay you to read and answer my letters, therefore obey!’ The spirit and meaning of the Tablet to Náṣiri’d-Dín _Sh_áh was, in short, this: ‘Now that the time has come, when the Cause of the Glory of God has appeared, I ask that I may be allowed to come to Ṭihrán and answer any questions the priests may put to Me. ‘I exhort you to detach yourself from the worldly magnificence of your Empire. Remember all those great kings who have lived before you—their glories have passed away!’ The letter was written in a most beautiful manner, and continued warning the King and telling him of the future triumph of the Kingdom of Bahá’u’lláh, both in the Eastern and in the Western World. The _Sh_áh paid no attention to the warning of this letter and continued to live in the same fashion until the end. Although Bahá’u’lláh was in prison the great Power of the Holy Spirit was with Him! None other in prison could have been like unto Him. In spite of all the hardships He suffered, He never complained. In the dignity of His Majesty, He always refused to see the Governor, or the influential people of the town. Although the surveillance was unremittingly strict He came and went as He wished! He died in a house situated about three kilometers from St. Jean d’Acre. GOOD IDEAS MUST BE CARRIED INTO ACTION November 8th All over the world one hears beautiful sayings extolled and noble precepts admired. All men say they love what is good, and hate everything that is evil! Sincerity is to be admired, whilst lying is despicable. Faith is a virtue, and treachery is a disgrace to humanity. It is a blessed thing to gladden the hearts of men, and wrong to be the cause of pain. To be kind and merciful is right, while to hate is sinful. Justice is a noble quality and injustice an iniquity. That it is one’s duty to be pitiful and harm no one, and to avoid jealousy and malice at all costs. Wisdom is the glory of man, not ignorance; light, not darkness! It is a good thing to turn one’s face toward God, and foolishness to ignore Him. That it is our duty to guide man upward, and not to mislead him and be the cause of his downfall. There are many more examples like unto these.
