Baha’i Blog’s “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 Genoa, Italy with Francesco Proglio and Lorenzo Maffia who sing “Dedicate la vostra mente (Dedicate Your Mind)” in Italian, from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Genoa, Italy, April 2018.
ITALIAN
Colui Che è l’Eterna Verità ha rivolto gli occhi dall’Alba della Gloria verso le genti di Bahá indi- rizzando loro queste parole: ‘Dedicatevi a promuovere il benessere e la tranquillità dei figli degli uo- mini. Applicate mente e volontà all’educazione dei popoli e delle tribù della terra, affinché i dissensi che li dividono si cancellino dalla sua faccia per il potere del Più Grande Nome e tutta l’umanità di- venga sostenitrice di un solo Ordine e abitatrice di un’unica Città. Illuminate e santificate i vostri cuori; non permettete che siano profanati da spine di odio o rovi di malizia. Dimorate in un solo mondo e siete stati creati per opera di un’unica Volontà. Beato colui che si unisce a tutti gli uomini in ispirito di massima gentilezza e di profondo amore.
Baha’u’llah
ENGLISH
He Who is the Eternal Truth hath, from the Dayspring of Glory, directed His eyes towards the people of Baha, and is addressing them in these words: ‘Address yourselves to the promotion of the well-being and tranquillity of the children of men. Bend your minds and wills to the education of the peoples and kindreds of the earth, that haply the dissensions that divide it may, through the power of the Most Great Name, be blotted out from its face, and all mankind become the upholders of one Order, and the inhabitants of one City. Illumine and hallow your hearts; let them not be profaned by the thorns of hate or the thistles of malice. Ye dwell in one world, and have been created through the operation of one Will. Blessed is he who mingleth with all men in a spirit of utmost kindliness and love.
Baha’u’llah
