I felt myself in a different world. In the Baha'i writings, it is said that music gives wings to the soul. And I felt that. The terraces themselves were also designed to glorify the Shrine of the Bab, said architect Fariborz Sahba, who designed them and oversaw their construction. Our intention has not been merely to build just a beautiful garden.
Beautiful gardens are everywhere.
But these gardens are spiritual gardens. On 4 June, the terraces will be opened to the public. Because of the overwhelming interest in the terraces, a computer reservation system is being set up to take requests for guided tours, which will be offered at no cost. It is the same spirit of faith that built the great cathedrals of Europe and the great mosques, monasteries and religious monuments of the East. In other words, we see these terraces and this event as an opportunity to see the positive force of faith at work.
