IT IS NO LONGER A VAGUE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE BUT WORLD PEACE IS HERE NOW

If you could know one thing about the future, what would it be?

Answer by pukirahe Oct 16th, 2009 at 10:23PM

World Unity and Peace. God promises in all the Holy Books that He will establish His Kingdom on earth. Now, for His believers, the Kingdom can be visualized up here theorically, and it will be realized with the marvelous means of this century.

Abdul-baha:

 

“Look ye not upon the present, fix your gaze upon the times to come. In the beginning, how small is the seed, yet in the end it is a mighty tree. Look ye not upon the seed, look ye upon the tree, and its blossoms, and its leaves and its fruits. Consider the days of Christ, when none but a small band followed Him; then observe what a mighty tree that seed became, behold ye its fruitage. And now shall come to pass even greater things than these, for this is the summons of the Lord of Hosts, this is the trumpet-call of the living Lord, this is the anthem of world peace, this is the standard of righteousness and trust and understanding raised up among all the variegated peoples of the globe; this is the splendour of the Sun of Truth, this is the holiness of the spirit of God Himself. This most powerful of dispensations will encompass all the earth, and beneath its banner will all peoples gather and be sheltered together.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, p. 82)

Baha’u’llah says:

“And of all men, the most accomplished, the most distinguished and the most excellent are the Manifestations of the Sun of Truth. Nay, all else besides these Manifestations, live by the operation of Their Will, and move and have their being through the outpourings of Their grace. “But for Thee, I would have not created the heavens.” Nay, all in Their holy presence fade into utter nothingness, and are a thing forgotten. Human tongue can never befittingly sing Their praise, and human speech can never unfold Their mystery. These Tabernacles of holiness, these primal Mirrors which reflect the light of unfading glory, are but expressions of Him Who is the Invisible of the Invisibles. By the revelation of these gems of divine virtue all the names and attributes of God, such as knowledge and power, sovereignty and dominion, mercy and wisdom, glory, bounty and grace, are made manifest. (Baha’u'llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 102)

Abdul-Baha says:

“O thou who hast attained to Truth!

I beg of God that the divine light which is spoken of in the Twelfth Chapter of John may shed its rays upon thee forever, so that thou mayest always be in light. The life of man in this world is short and will soon draw to an end. Consequently one must appreciate (or count as gain) every breath (or moment) of his life and endeavor in that which is conducive to eternal glory.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu’l-Baha v1, p. 206)

Yes. Life is breathing,

Eating, sleeping, enjoying

Abdul-Baha says:

“Now if the illustrious people of the one true God, the recipients of His confirmations, the objects of His Divine assistance, should put forth all their strength, and with complete dedication, relying upon God and turning aside from all else but Him, should adopt procedures for spreading the Faith and should bend all their efforts to this end, it is certain that His Divine light would envelop the whole earth.

WHEN WILL THE HUMAN RACE HAIL GOD THANKFULLY IN HIS KINGDOM ON EARTH?

AGAIN AND AGAIN, BAHA’IS, WHY IS IT THAT YOU DO NOT TRY TO CONVERT OTHERS?

(Wishing that all Baha’is will answer this question with action)

Here are my humble opinions concerning this important question:

The more we love people, the more we want to try very hard in teaching the Faith, despite all allergy, estrangement, misunderstanding, discrimination, persecution…

But there is also support, assistance, encouragement…

And in reality, the Baha’i Faith is emerging prestigiously everywhere in the world. I feel more and more exciting in bringing the word Baha’i into people’s eyes, ears and souls without expecting immediate results. Because:

Human beings need much more time to think about truth, spirituality, divinity, immortality, the love and knowledge of God….

When a person starts his search, it takes time for him to become an active seeker, a true seeker.

It takes time for him to obtain the right book, to meet the friendly introducer, to see some sparks of light from the word Baha’i.

Then it takes time for his learning and understanding.

It takes time for practicing, and practicing sincerely and devotedly.

It takes time to enter the harmonious life with co-religionists and with humanity at large.

Yes, it takes time for all communities to concert efforts in translating the Divine Plan of Baha’u’llah into reality.

Yes, therefore, I try to serve urgently every day and make my mind to wait patiently for a few centuries, before the human race hail God thankfully in His Kingdom on earth.

Baha’is, why is it that you do not try to convert others?

Asked by B Knott Wildered

For me, I will readily share my beliefs but if you tell me you are not interested, I will leave you alone as far as matters of spirituality. But I love to share with those I love. Yet another gustatory concoction of mine that has won kudos in the past, a new flavor of ice cream or a glimpse of newly-hatched bluebirds in one of my bird houses. I will offer to share my faith with you in the same manner I will offer a serving of some dish I have created to let you see if it is to your taste. If it is not, then by offering I have done my part, have done all I can and should do.

A second reason that I like to share it is I firmly believe that the Baha’i Faith is the only way mankind has to achieve world peace. Not just the best way, but the only way. Furthermore, I believe there is a critical mass that when reached, when enough hearts are attracted to Baha’u'llah we will have world peace almost overnight. I am doing what I can to help reach that critical mass.

A final(?) reason I readily share it is that I do not believe I have the right to choose for you. If I tell you the Baha’i Faith exists and share just a bit of it with you, then you have the choice to investigate it or not. If I choose not to tell you about it, I have made a choice for myself, but I have made one for you also. In effect, I have chosen that you will not investigate it for yourself. (Yes, I realize this is related to the first, but I felt it important to emphasize.)

To conclude, it is only here that I will at least sometimes try several times to pique your interest, but even here, if I feel I have sufficiently done my part, I will bother you no more. I will ever be available and ready to answer questions, but you first have to let me know you are interested.

I always try very actively to introduce the Baha’i Faith, because mankind need urgently this new Message of God to solve the global problems of this Age of human maturity. If people don’t know about it, it is really my fault.
But I have no power to convert people. Any persons who turn to God, God will enlighten their minds and lead them to all truth.
You can read this blog to see how hard I am trying:

Asker’s Comment:

Very well put, and exactly why I am here. I would rather have 10,000 people here asking why I am bothering them over 1 there saying “Why didn’t you?” Not sharing with others takes their choice away. I have no right to do that.

Thanks, my brother!

Baha’u’llah says:

“These are among the attributes of the exalted, and constitute the hall-mark of the spiritually-minded. They have already been mentioned in connection with the requirements of the wayfarers that tread the path of Positive Knowledge. When the detached wayfarer and sincere seeker hath fulfilled these essential conditions, then and only then can he be called a true seeker. Whensoever he hath fulfilled the conditions implied in the verse: “Whoso maketh efforts for Us,” he shall enjoy the blessings conferred by the words: “In Our Ways shall We assuredly guide him.” (Baha’u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u'llah, p. 266)

THE VOICE OF GOD CAN BE HEARD BY ALL PEOPLE IN THIS GREAT CYCLE

Have you ever heard God speak to you? What did He say?

Answer by pukirahe Mar 25th, 2011 at 3:12PM

God speaks to me clearly about all things.
I hear Him through the Teachings of His Manifestations.
As for this question, here is what He tells me:
“O people of God! Great is the Day and mighty the Call! In one of Our Tablets We have revealed these exalted words: ‘Were the world of the spirit to be wholly converted into the sense of hearing, it could then claim to be worthy to hearken unto the Voice that calleth from the Supreme Horizon; for otherwise, these ears that are defiled with lying tales have never been, nor are they now, fit to hear it.’ Well is it with them that hearken; and woe betide the wayward.

Ye have suffered My enemy to enter My house and have cast out My friend, for ye have enshrined the love of another than Me in your hearts. Give ear to the sayings of the Friend and turn towards His paradise. Worldly friends, seeking their own good, appear to love one the other, whereas the true Friend hath loved and doth love you for your own sakes; indeed He hath suffered for your guidance countless afflictions. Be not disloyal to such a Friend, nay rather hasten unto Him. Such is the daystar of the word of truth and faithfulness, that hath dawned above the horizon of the pen of the Lord of all names. Open your ears that ye may hearken unto the word of God, the Help in peril, the Self-existent. (Baha’u'llah, The Persian Hidden Words)

“Such is the true meaning of rendering assistance unto God. Sedition hath never been pleasing unto God, nor were the acts committed in the past by certain foolish ones acceptable in His sight. Know ye that to be killed in the path of His good pleasure is better for you than to kill. The beloved of the Lord must, in this day, behave in such wise amidst His servants that they may by their very deeds and actions guide all men unto the paradise of the All-Glorious.
