Twofold Language (29:0) Bahá'í Quote: It is evident unto thee that the Birds of Heaven and Doves of Eternity speak a twofold language. One language, the outward language, is devoid of allusions, is unconcealed and unveiled; that it may be a guiding lamp and a beaconing light whereby wayfarers may attain the heights of holiness, and seekers may advance into the realm of eternal reunion. Such are the unveiled traditions and the evident verses already mentioned. The other language is veiled and concealed, so that whatever lieth hidden in the heart of the malevolent may be made manifest and their innermost being be disclosed.. (kiq 254:2) (29:1) see Bible Quote: And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? (29:2) see He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. (29:3) see For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. (29:4) see Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. (29:5) see And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: (29:6) 57 see For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. (29:7) see But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. (29:8) see For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
(29:9)
