One
of the explanations given today concerned the meaning of the Tablets of
chrysolite mentioned in the Hidden Words, about which one of the friends
had asked. The Master replied:
“What
is meant is one of the holy Tablets. But it also alludes to the fact that the
divine Tablets should be engraved on precious stones. In addition, there is a
saying in the East by which the color white symbolizes divine will; red, divine
decree and martyrdom; green, predestination; and yellow, execution of the
decree.” (‘Abdu’l-Baha, July 10, 1912; Mahmud’s Diary)
