The Baha’i writings say, “ Like Jacob, he desired only to ensure the welfare of his beloved Joseph, and to surround Him with his loving protection.” His extreme admiration and awe of Baha’u’llah only strengthened the Vazír’s hope, confidence, and devotion to his son. That soothsayer then gazed intently at Baha’u’llah’s face, extolled all of his traits, and praised him profusely.

The limitless ocean that you have seen in your dream, O Vazír, is none other than the world of being. This soothsayer explained that this dream prophesied the “future glory of Bahá’u’lláh.” So, he asked a famous soothsayer-a person who foretells the future-to interpret the dream for him. The Vazír was very moved by this dream of his son swimming in the ocean waters and knew it must have spiritual meaning and significance.

Free and unrestrained, He moved above the waters and they all followed Him. Great as was their number, and however firmly they clung to His locks, not one single hair seemed to have been detached from His head, nor did the least injury affect His person. Fascinated by the effulgence of His face, they followed Him in whatever direction He swam. Around His head, which could distinctly be seen above the waters, there radiated, in all directions, His long, jet-black locks, floating in great profusion above the waves.Īs he dreamed, a multitude of fishes gathered round Him, each holding fast to the extremity of one hair.

For example, in the early 19 th century, when Baha’u’llah was just a child, his father-the Vazír in Iran-had a profound dream of his son. The beauty and majesty of the oceans may even appear in our dreams. A Dream About Swimming in the Ocean, and What It Meant Around the world, Baha’is are working toward a future where “ all the nations and peoples of the world become as one soul and one spirit, in order that strife and warfare be entirely removed and the rancor and hostility disappear so that all become as the waves of one ocean, the drops of one sea…”Įach of us can’t survive alone as one drop, but when humanity collectively unites and binds together, we will be as strong and everlasting as the sea.
