Jináb-i-Mírzá Músá was the true brother of Bahá’u’lláh, and
from earliest childhood he was reared in the sheltering embrace of the Most
Great Name. He drank in the love of God with his mother’s milk; when yet a
suckling, he showed an extraordinary attachment to the Blessed Beauty. At all
times he was the object of Divine grace, favor and loving-kindness. After their
distinguished father died, Mírzá Músá was brought up by Bahá’u’lláh, growing to
maturity in the haven of His care. Day by day, the youth’s servitude and
devotion increased. In all things, he lived according to the commandments, and
he was entirely severed from any thoughts of this world.
Like a bright lamp, he shone out in that Household. He
wished neither rank nor office, and had no worldly aims at all. His one supreme
desire was to serve Bahá’u’lláh, and for this reason he was never separated
from his Brother’s presence. No matter what torments the others inflicted, his
loyalty equaled the cruelty of the rest, for he had drunk the wine of
unadulterated love.
