Note & Pictures from Borge Hansen in Shanghai

Dear Sheedfar, Farzaneh, Vafa and Laila

Amin was a truly remarkable person who held high the ensign of nobility and righteousness while treading the path of life with humility and genuine concern for others, always prepared to jump to the assistance of anyone who needed a helping hand.

That God Almighty decided to call him to his heavenly abode at a time when he had travelled long distances to be close to his cousin and along with family prepare for the welcoming of little Zayn is a mystery we perhaps shall never know.

In the world of creation
life and death are inseparable
none to be without the other

Our soul – a ray of light from the sun
reflected in the nether us
a mere glint

In the world of spirit
through God’s mercy
this glint will shine
forever

Reflecting upon the mystery and praying for Amin, these words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha comes to mind:

“And now I give you a commandment which shall be for a covenant between you and Me — that ye have faith; that your faith be steadfast as a rock that no storms can move, that nothing can disturb, and that it endure through all things even to the end; even should ye hear that your Lord has been crucified, be not shaken in your faith, for I am with you always, whether living or dead, I am with you to the end. As ye have faith so shall your powers and blessings be. This is the balance — this is the balance — this is the balance.”

My heart goes out to all of you.
With much love

Borge
