The Hidden Words

Many years ago, when I was a student at Purdue University, I decided to try systematically mastering the knowledge in the writings of Baha'u'llah the way I did with books on mathematics: study the material and do exercises. I decided to start with the hidden words. I spent a year searching for ideas about what it might mean to possess a pure heart, and how to go about it.

One day I was searching for books about purity in the card catalog at the library, and I saw this title: "Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing."

I didn't even need to look at the book. The title itself answered all my questions.
