Pause & Reflect is a series that presents meditative passages from the Baha'i sacred texts arranged around particular themes. While the Bahá'í Faith places a great deal of importance on meditation and the cultivation of spirituality, it is also a religion that calls for action and societal transformation.

Meditation is not exclusively a means for personal growth, but a tool that should equip us with insights and awareness that can be translated into action in our lives and in the communities in which we live.

Justice is a principle worthy of our deepest reflection, a subject at the forefront of the minds of many people. These passages are not solely for quiet meditation, but also meant to inspire action – in ourselves and in our communities.
