131. approach not the public pools of Persian baths # 106 |
|
Bahá’u’lláh prohibits the use of the pools found in the
traditional public bath-houses of Persia. In these baths it
was the custom for many people to wash themselves in the
same pool and for the water to be changed at infrequent
intervals. Consequently, the water was discoloured,
befouled and unhygienic, and had a highly offensive stench.
