Who are the “Blessed”? – Baha’u’llah identifies

• Blessed the slumberer who is awakened by My Breeze.
•  Blessed the lifeless one who is quickened through My reviving breaths.
• Blessed the eye that is solaced by gazing at My beauty.
•  Blessed the wayfarer who directeth his steps towards the Tabernacle of My glory and majesty.
• Blessed the distressed one who seeketh refuge beneath the shadow of My canopy.
•  Blessed the sore athirst who hasteneth to the softflowing waters of My loving-kindness.
• Blessed the insatiate soul who casteth away his selfish desires for love of Me and taketh his place at the banquet table which I have sent down from the heaven of divine bounty for My chosen ones.
•  Blessed the abased one who layeth fast hold on the cord of My glory; and the needy one who entereth beneath the shadow of the Tabernacle of My wealth.
• Blessed the ignorant one who seeketh the fountain of My knowledge; and the heedless one who cleaveth to the cord of My remembrance.
• Blessed the soul that hath been raised to life through My quickening breath and hath gained admittance into My heavenly Kingdom.
• Blessed the man whom the sweet savours of reunion with Me have stirred and caused to draw nigh unto the Dayspring of My Revelation.
• Blessed the ear that hath heard and the tongue that hath borne witness and the eye that hath seen and recognized the Lord Himself, in His great glory and majesty, invested with grandeur and dominion.
• Blessed are they that have attained His presence.
• Blessed the man who hath sought enlightenment from the Day-Star of My Word.
•  Blessed he who hath attired his head with the diadem of My love.
• Blessed is he who hath heard of My grief and hath arisen to aid Me among My people.
• Blessed is he who hath laid down his life in My path and hath borne manifold hardships for the sake of My Name.
• Blessed the man who, assured of My Word, hath arisen from among the dead to celebrate My praise.
• Blessed is he that hath been enraptured by My wondrous melodies and hath rent the veils asunder through the potency of My might.
• Blessed is he who hath remained faithful to My Covenant, and whom the things of the world have not kept back from attaining My Court of holiness.
• Blessed is the man who hath detached himself from all else but Me, hath soared in the atmosphere of My love, hath gained admittance into My Kingdom, gazed upon My realms of glory, quaffed the living waters of My bounty, hath drunk his fill from the heavenly river of My loving providence, acquainted himself with My Cause, apprehended that which I concealed within the treasury of My Words, and hath shone forth from the horizon of divine knowledge engaged in My praise and glorification. Verily, he is of Me. Upon him rest My mercy, My loving-kindness, My bounty and My glory.
