“Amad a las criaturas (Love the Creatures)” by Violette, Maísha & Alicia

Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.

In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Marbella, Spain with Violette Ramechfar, Maísha R. Joya and Alicia Perdu who sing “Amad a las criaturas (Love the Creatures)”  in Spanish based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha. 

This song was filmed and recorded in Marbella, Spain in July 2023.

LYRICS/QUOTE:

Amad a las criaturas por amor a Dios y no por sí mismas. Jamás estaréis enojados o impacientes si los amáis por amor a Dios. La humanidad no es perfecta. Existen imperfecciones en cada ser humano; seréis siempre desdichados si miráis a la gente. Pero si miráis a Dios, los amareis y seréis amables con ellos…

LYRICS/QUOTE IN ENGLISH:

Love the creatures for the sake of God and not for themselves. You will never become angry or impatient if you love them for the sake of God. Humanity is not perfect. There are imperfections in every human being, and you will always become unhappy if you look toward the people themselves. But if you look toward God, you will love them and be kind to them…
