Reality and the Worlds of God

Compiled by Marian Crist Lippitt
Revised by J. Michael Kafes

Introduction and Instructions for Viewing

Reality and the Worlds of God encompasses the relationships between the Divine Source-Essence and the two conditions of existence that proceed therefrom:

• The "Greater World" of God's Manifestation, also known as the realm of the Word of God, His Prophets, or the World of Divine Command
• The "Lesser World" of God's creation, the kingdom of servitude.

This compilation from the Bahá'í Writings reveals the purpose of the things which comprise Reality, so that we may be able to study this overall view of life presented to us in this Day of God. Bahá'u'lláh, the Manifestation or Prophet for this day, provides the key to all Truth and answers all of these questions. He makes knowing our real Purpose not only possible, but also helps us understand how that Purpose may be gloriously fulfilled!

That this compilation may play a definite part in developing, in those who study it, a clearer apprehension of the purpose of God for man, and particularly of His immediate purpose as revealed and directed by Bahá'u'lláh, is the hope of those who have taken part in its preparation.
