Stories of the Master Ep. 4 Abdu’l-Baha and the Prince | France

July 20, 2024, in Audio > Podcasts, by

“Stories of the Master” is a podcast series featuring stories about Abdu’l-Baha put together by Sana Vasli. The episodes are accessible for young listeners but are truly enjoyable for all ages and they can be listened to on Spotify or Apple podcasts.

In this third and final episode specifically on the topic of forgiveness, we hear about an encounter between Abdu’l-Baha and the Prince of Persia. This story demonstrates how we can forgive others, the same way that God forgives us.

In our interview with Sana, he tells us this “podcast takes a close look at one aspect of the station of Abdu’l-Baha–His perfection! Being ‘perfect’ can feel impossible, but the stories remind us that He is not a perfect idol, but a Perfect Exemplar and if we persevere, we can achieve these qualities, even if it is little by little, day by day.”
