Itwasover threedecadesago that
wehad theprivilegeofourfirst
encounterwithGreg,whenhe
sharedwithusasonghehad
writtenaboutMishqinQalam.
Sincethenwehavecontinuallygainedagreater
insight in to his impressive qualities. Indeed
we have found him to be the embodiment of
many human virtues. He is considered by us
as the reality of Baha’u’llah’s injunctionwhere
He says “Regardman as a mine rich in gems
of inestimable value”. Some of these gems of
inestimable value include Greg’s faithfulness,
steadfastness, positive attitude, vision and
determination. His spiritual richness and
wealth of understanding of the truemeaning
of life manifests itself in his expressions and
beliefs.
His determination in providing service to the
community, through the medium of music,
has been the source of joy and happiness to
countless people who have crossed his path.
His numerous musical productions such as
the Face of Glory, Tribute to Baha’u’llah, The
Servant,AustraliaDayPerformancesandFrom
OurHearts toYours arebut a fewexamplesof
hisunforgettablecontributions.
Greg unquestionably draws his physical,
mental and spiritual strength from the
commitment tohis Faith that he cherishes so
deeplyandenjoys sharing itwithothers.
In a profound Tablet by Baha’u’llah, He
emphaticallypromises:
“…. Soulswill arise andholy beings appearwho,
as stars would adorn the firmament of divine
Guidance; illumine the dayspring of loving
kindness and bounty; manifest the signs of the
unity of God; shine with the light of sanctity;
receive their full measure of divine inspiration;
raise high the sacred torch of faith; standfirm as
the rock and immoveable as the mountain; and
grow to become luminaries in the heavens ofHis
Revelation, mighty channels of His grace, means
for the bestowals of God’s bountiful care, herald
calling thenameof theone trueGod…..”
Greg is one of those outstanding souls who
have indeed championed the qualifications
envisagedbyBaha’u’llah in theaboveTablet.
