“From out the fountain of Our heart hath God’s celestial river flowed; This cup of honeyed nectar from Our ruby lips is raining down.” —Baha’u’llah, excerpt from The Call of the Divine Beloved

I love the image and symbolism of this excerpt, the red beads being our hearts and ruby lips, the lotuses in the prayer beads flowing down God’s celestial river. The red lotus signifies compassion, sympathy, selfless love. heart, passion, and generosity.
