God loves mankind, and if we didn’t know this, it would be a big waste.

Our parents love us, and if we didn’t know this, it would be a big waste.

Other people love us, and if we didn’t know this, it would be a big waste.

Yes, we would waste lots of precious things, if we didn’t have knowledge.

But where is true knowledge, and what is it?

True knowledge is in the Holy Books, it is truth.

Christ says:

“6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

(King James Bible, Matthew)

Baha’u’llah says

“The Revelation which, from time immemorial, hath been acclaimed as the Purpose and Promise of all the Prophets of God, and the most cherished Desire of His Messengers, hath now, by virtue of the pervasive Will of the Almighty and at His irresistible bidding, been revealed unto men. The advent of such a Revelation hath been heralded in all the sacred Scriptures. Behold how, notwithstanding such an announcement, mankind hath strayed from its path and shut out itself from its glory”.

(Baha’u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u'llah, p. 5)

Khrisna says:

“Mankind errs here

By folly, darkening knowledge. But, for whom

That darkness of the soul is chased by light,

Splendid and clear shines manifest the Truth

As if a Sun of Wisdom sprang to shed

Its beams of dawn.”

(Hindu, Bhagavad Gita (Edwin Arnold tr))

Moses says:

“23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and He shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.”

(King James Bible, Exodus)

Zoroaster says:

‘When I teach thee, that thou mayest do the same to thy son, O Vishtaspa! receive thou well that teaching; that will make thee rich in children and rich in milk; rich in seed, in fat, in milk’.

(The Zend-Avesta, Avesta Fragments)

Buddha says:

“And I discovered that-profound truth, so difficult to perceive, difficult to understand, tranquilizing and sublime, which is not to be gained by mere reasoning, and is visible only to the wise.”

((The Eightfold Path), Buddha,  the Word (The Eightfold Path))

Muhammad says:

“Aye, he who resigns his face to God, and who is kind, he shall have his reward from his Lord, and no fear shall be on them, and they shall not grieve.”

(The Qur’an (E.H. Palmer tr), Sura   2 – The Heifer)

The Bab says:

“All matters must be referred to the Book of God; I am indeed the First to believe in God and in His signs; I am the One Who divulgeth and proclaimeth the Truth and I have been invested with every excellent title of God, the Mighty, the Incomparable. Verily I have attained the Day of the First Manifestation and by the bidding of the Lord and as a token of His grace, I shall attain the Day of the Latter Manifestation. There is no God but Him and at the appointed hour everyone shall bow down unto Him in adoration.”

(The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p. 10)

In the posting entitled “KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE CANNOT BE SOLD AND BOUGHT” on September 3, 2010, I have writtien: What are written in the Holy Books are not knowledge, but they are only symbols to awaken human thinking.

Now, I state that my quotations from the Holy Books are true knowledge, because I believe in Baha’u’llah and in Abdul-Baha, His authoritative Interpreter and Center of the Divine Covenant. For those who don’t believe, they still consider that the Holy Books are meaningless.

IT SEEMS THAT WE ARE BORN TO SOLVE MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT PROBLEMS

What did you do after high school?

We better continue the college learning if possible. Doctor degrees don’t mean all-knowing, but we need methodology to continue learning for our whole life. Man does not exist naturally like other creatures, but he interruptedly learns how to go through life with higher and broader knowledge, to solve greater problems and enjoy more marvelous happiness.

The world will continue to exist, new horizons keep on opening before our eyes. It seems that we are born to solve old and new problems, which are more and more complex. The more we can solve problems, the more we are proud and confirmed with our intelligence.

For not knowing the great bestowal of our rational sense and free will, some people keep on wondering why human people do not learn lessons of the past. The fathers of yesterday fell into the trap of alcohol to cause damage to their families; and the fathers of today continue to accept the domination of this intoxicated drink!

The youth of the past were killed in the war with bows and arrows; now they still get killed in the war with weapons of mass destruction!

So, should a man feel satisfied without learning to know how to avoid the death of drunkenness or the death in an atomic war?

In the olden days, only a small number of people kept on thinking for their whole life, they were called philosophers. They who put high ideals into practice, the saints. They who gave their lives for the progress of the world, the adventurers, the revolutionaries, the entrepreneurs.

Nowadays, all people have the conditions and means to learn and applied all these things. They who do so, may be considered as mature, and others still immature. The mature don’t look down upon the immature as stupid masses, but compassionately embracing them and nurture them as true brothers taking care of their younger siblings.

Yes, this is the beauty of this Age of maturity of the human race.
