In The Hidden Words, Baha'u'llah uses the word dust nine times as a heading to show the worth of our physical form. He uses expressions such as: O Son of Dust, O Moving Form of Dust, O Offspring of Dust (1:8) Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul...that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest.1 Baha'u'llah (1:9) All will I gather beneath the onecolored covering of the dust and efface all these diverse colors save them that choose My own, and that is purging from every color.2 Baha'u'llah (1:10) References: 1. hwd (Arabic), no. 68: 2. hwd (Persian), no. 74
(1:11)
