Bahji and Haifa in Israel.
Among various countries I have visited such as the US, Bolivia, Iran…, I love Israel the most.
In Akka, the Most Great Prison, resided the Knower of All Mysteries as introduced by Leo Tolstoy. This Prisoner’s Tomb in Bahji is now the Most Holy Placce on earth, the Qiblih of the Baha’is.
In Haifa, there are Gardens like the Hanging Garden of Babylon, and considered as the 8th Wonder of the World. They beautify the World Center of the Baha’i Faith.
I have twice made my pilgrimage to this Land which I love to revisit as often as I can.
This is the object of my joyful adoration.

Baha’u’llah says:
We are the Way mentioned in the Book of God, — exalted and glorified be He — and We are the Impost, and We are the Fast, and We are the Pilgrimage, and We are the Sacred Month, and We are the Sacred City, and We are the Kaaba of God, and We are the Qiblih of God, and We are the Face of God.'” Jabir hath said that Abu-Ja’far — peace be upon him — spoke to him as follows: “O Jabir! Give heed unto the Bayan (Exposition) and the Ma’ani (Significances).” He — peace be upon him — added: “As to the Bayan, it consisteth in thy recognition of God — glorified be He — as the One Who hath no equal, and in thy adoration of Him, and in thy refusal to join partners with Him. As to the Ma’ani, We are its meaning, and its side, and its hand, and its tongue, and its cause, and its command, and its knowledge, and its right. If We wish for something, it is God Who wisheth it, and He desireth that which We desire.”
(Baha’u’llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 112)
