ing, if ye should stop and rest in some safe spot, perform
ye--men and women alike--a single prostration in place of each unsaid
Obligatory Prayer #14

Exemption from obligatory prayer is granted to those who find themselves
in such a condition of insecurity that the saying of the Obligatory
Prayers is not possible. The exemption applies whether one is travelling
or at home, and it provides a means whereby Obligatory Prayers which have
remained unsaid on account of these insecure circumstances may be
compensated for.

Baha'u'llah has made it clear that obligatory prayer "is not suspended
during travel" so long as one can find a "safe spot" in which to perform
it (Q and A 58).

Numbers 21, 58, 59, 60, and 61 in Questions and Answers amplify this
provision.

22. Upon completing your prostrations, seat yourselves cross-legged #14

The Arabic expression "haykalu't-tawhid", translated here as
"cross-legged", means the "posture of unity". It has traditionally
signified a cross-legged position.

23. Say: God hath made My hidden love the key to the Treasure #15

There is a well-known Islamic tradition concerning God and His creation:

I was a Hidden Treasure. I wished to be made known, and thus I
called creation into being in order that I might be known.

References and allusions to this tradition are found throughout the Baha'i
Writings. For example, in one of His prayers, Baha'u'llah reveals:

Lauded be Thy name, O Lord my God! I testify that Thou wast a
hidden Treasure wrapped within Thine immemorial Being and an
impenetrable Mystery enshrined in Thine own Essence. Wishing to
reveal Thyself, Thou didst call into being the Greater and the
Lesser Worlds, and didst choose Man above all Thy creatures, and
didst make Him a sign of both of these worlds, O Thou Who art our
Lord, the Most Compassionate! Thou didst raise Him up to occupy
Thy throne before all the people of Thy creation. Thou didst
enable Him to unravel Thy mysteries, and to shine with the lights
of Thine inspiration and Thy Revelation, and to manifest Thy names
and Thine attributes. Through Him Thou didst adorn the preamble of
the book of Thy creation, O Thou Who art the Ruler of the universe
Thou hast fashioned! (Prayers and Meditations by Baha'u'llah)

Likewise, in the Hidden Words, He states:

O Son of Man! I loved thy creation, hence I created thee.
