Good Question?(3)

Posted by Me May 25th, 2013 at 5:24PM

I join Facebook for less than one year and I find that it is my happiness.

I meet and converse with good and wise friends every day.

I like, I enjoy and share positive thoughts, images, videos.

I receive new lessons.

I receive new friends, new glad tidings, new signs of human progress.

I receive news about new discoveries, new inventions, new applications for the

betterment of our world.

In sum, I wish that this e Community will become bigger and bigger in learning,

friendship and progress.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “What profit is there in agreeing that universal friendship is good, and talking of the solidarity of the human race as a grand ideal? Unless these thoughts are translated into the world of action, they are useless.

The wrong in the world continues to exist just because people talk only of their ideals, and do not strive to put them into practice.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 16)

 HAIKU

 I do love Facebook

Contact with old and new friends

Truly a great joy

All people are created spiritually equal by God.
I believe this truth which is revealed by God’s Messengers such as Buddha, Christ, Baha’u'llah….
I don’t believe in any “…ism” fabricated by man.
Today we have all Holy Books and books of man on the Internet. We can read them and find the truth for ourselves.
Disputes, confusions, misunderstandings… are results of human guesses. Once we do our learning directly in the divine education, our minds will be illuminated. And this true equality.

Abdul-Baha says:

THE NEED OF DIVINE EDUCATION  “In the Books of the Prophets certain glad-tidings are recorded which are absolutely true and free from doubt. The East has ever been the dawning-point of the Sun of Reality. All the Prophets of God have appeared there. The religions of God have been promulgated, the teachings of God have been spread and the law of God founded in the East. The Orient has always been the center of lights. The West has acquired illumination from the East but in some respects the reflection of the light has been greater in the Occident.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, Foundations of World Unity, p. 71)

Land.

Land is the only provider to satisfy all human ambitions with abundance, beauty and humility.

Man prides with intelligence walking purposelessly upon its face with arrogance, discontentment, anxiety.

This is what land says:

You are created supremely noble, why keeping on wandering in the wilderness of doubt, of hatred, of death? Please return to your station and favor me with the glory of your greater discoveries and inventions. Yes, you are not builder of tombs, but builder of civilization.

Abdul-Baha says:

“Universal benefits derive from the grace of the Divine religions, for they lead their true followers to sincerity of intent, to high purpose, to purity and spotless honor, to surpassing kindness and compassion, to the keeping of their covenants when they have covenanted, to concern for the rights of others, to liberality, to justice in every aspect of life, to humanity and philanthropy, to valor and to unflagging efforts in the service of mankind. It is religion, to sum up, which produces all human virtues, and it is these virtues which are the bright candles of civilization.”

Fact.

Good Question?(4)

Posted by Me May 24th, 2013 at 5:07PM

Yes, I hate it and I hate all sorts of restrictions.

Then I learn that obedience to law giving us freedom, so I try to observe various regulations and I really enjoy this life.

In our existence, we have to face natural laws, social laws and divine laws. We need to know them and to observe them to preserve safety, order and welfare for our own self and also for our neighbors. See how a city would be if all citizens decided to ignore the traffic red light!

Among all creatures, only human beings are endowed with intelligence to practice self-discipline. The more we become well disciplined, the more our society will become civilized. And carrying forward an ever-advancing civilization is our supreme goal.

Baha’u’llah says:

“All men have been created to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization. The Almighty beareth Me witness: To act like the beasts of the field is unworthy of man. Those virtues that befit his dignity are forbearance, mercy, compassion and loving-kindness towards all the peoples and kindreds of the earth.”

Good Question?(5)

Posted by Me May 24th, 2013 at 4:37PM

Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u'llah.

I love the Holy Quran, the Dhammapada, the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, the Kitab-i-Aqdas… and my favorite Holy Book at this time is the “Prayers and Meditations” revealed by Baha’u'llah. The reason is that this Book is still not known by many people, so the knowledge, the inspiration, the divine guidance is novel and unique. This is the purest form of conversation between man and God in this Age of human maturity. I believe that more and more people will learn how to love and to converse with God through this Book.

This is my conversation with God today:

“I bear witness, O my God, that Thou hast created me to know Thee and to

worship Thee. I testify, at this moment, to my powerlessness and to Thy might,

to my poverty and to Thy wealth.

There is none other God but Thee, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.”

(Baha’u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u'llah, p. 313)

Good Question? (3)

Posted by Me May 24th, 2013 at 3:08AM

I have a simple and important thing that I want to tell each and all people on earth today and tomorrow.
Each day, in years, I answer three questions on EP to illustrate the thing, and it seems that not many people have got the point yet. And I make my mind to keep on like this as long as I can.
It is the secret for an eternally happy life: “TO BREATHE, TO DRINK AND TO EAT”. Breathing the consuming fire of God’s love, drinking the life-giving water of divine teachings and eating the fruit of our own good deeds.
Yes, such a simple thing.

WHY DO YOU HATE YOUR JOB?

Why do you hate your job?

Asked By: Deseraye1 31-35, F  30 minutes ago

Posted by Me May 23rd, 2013 at 6:28PM

Tons of reasons: Low pay, Tiresome, Monotonous…..
That is why teachers and parents should teach children how to do their jobs with happiness, progress and creativity.
First and foremost, they should learn to love all mankind, because we are all members in the family of One Living and Loving God. Then, they learn to know that work in the spirit of service is the highest form of worship. Then, and only then, they will interest more in training their skills, developing their powers and heightening their ideals….
If we hate job, how much more would we hate imprisonment; while we see how many happy prisoners becoming glorious servants of the human race.

“Today firmness in the covenant of servitude is the means of effectively flinging forth the divine proclamation into all horizons and this firmness is conducive to the power of the word of the teacher; for in this day when one arises to herald the Kingdom of Abha, a magnetic power is produced which attracts the rays of confirmation; the hosts of the supreme concourse will make whosoever is sincere victorious and the power of the Holy Spirit will assist him.”
