For mere existence and ending in dust.
For physical pleasures.
For reputation and power.
For more happy offsprings.
For the honor of the country.
For being remembered in history.
For creating a better world.
For paying the debts of previous life.
For predetermined destiny.
For illusions and nothingness.
For personal and mysterious reasons.
For self-realization as a human being.
And what is the use of my writing a book

Baha’u’llah says:

“Glorified, immeasurably glorified art Thou, O my Master! Look, then, upon the hearts which, in their love for Thee, have been transfixed by the darts of Thine enemies, and the heads which were borne on spears for the sake of the exaltation of Thy Cause and the glorification of Thy name. Have pity, then, upon those hearts which have been consumed by the fire of Thy love, and been touched by such tribulations as are known only unto Thee.” (Baha’u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u'llah, p. 334)

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRAYER AND MEDITATION?

What’s the difference between prayer and meditation?

Answer by pukirahe Apr 30th, 2012 at 3:27AM

Prayer is conversation with God.
Meditation is conversation to oneself
based on God’s counsels in Prayer
and in Reading other Holy Books.
Prayer gives me knowledge and power;
meditation leads me to purposeful actions
and assurance of good results.
Prayer and meditation are spiritual food
that separate man from other creatures
in the worlds of God.

Answer by pukirahe Apr 30th, 2012 at 3:17AM

Yes, very clear and certain.
I see that God is one, man is one
and all religions agree.
I see that prayers, meditations,
and serving mankind is the foundation
of all happiness, prosperity and progress.
I see that the Progressive Revelation of God
is explaining all differences and showing the way
to unity, peace and ever-advancing civilization.
Every day, up here, I have answered thousands
of religious questions basing on my own learning
and experience.

Baha’u’llah says:

Shatter not the hopes of this lowly one to attain the shores of Thy glory, and deprive not this wretched creature of the immensities of Thy riches, and cast not away this suppliant from the doors of Thy grace,and Thy bounty, and Thy gifts. Have mercy, then, upon this poor and desolate soul who hath sought no friend but Thee, and no companion except Thee, and no comforter save Thee, and no beloved apart from Thee, nor cherished any desire but Thyself.” (Baha’u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u'llah, p. 337)

THINK LIKE A MAN AND ACT LIKE A LADY?

Answer by pukirahe Apr 29th, 2012 at 5:52PM

It is also wise to say: “Think like a lady and act like man.”
Because thinking and acting cannot be separated,
while male and female wisdom is necessarily one
and the same.
All philosophies in the Cycle of Adam are
from male domination and patriarchal prejudice.
We are now living in the Age of maturity,
in which men and women must have equal
opportunities for education, for thought and action.
Otherwise, this ancient mess will keep us
in our low state of barbarism.

Our world really suffers with separation of thinking from action, of the muscular strength from compassionate encouragement… We need new thinking.

“It is not attached to home and comfort nor is it limited to nest and abode. Nay, rather, it is intoxicated with the wine of the love of God, singing at all times the anthems and praises of the Almighty.

Yes, definitely, especially for me.
It will prove that I am right for emphasizing
that there will be no doomsday.
Many people will turn to God to learn
about how to conduct a better life in
His boundless and eternal love.
And the result of this is world unity and peace.

COMMAND SOMEONE TO LOVE A STRANGER?

Can you command someone who loves you to love and honor some stranger as much as they love you?

Asked By: Sugardaddy8910 1 hour ago

A nun loves Jesus, if Jesus appears and commands her to transfer her loyality to a serial killer can she do it? If she disobeys should she be cast into hell. Absurd! but Jewish god asked Lucifer to prostate before a Man, and Lucifer disobeyed, was punishment proportional to the sin?

Answer by pukirahe Apr 29th, 2012 at 4:43PM
Year of Dragon, Day 99

God can because He is omniscient
and omnipotent. When He commands
that man must love his enemy, man
must happily and thankfully obey.
Man’s obedience is based on his
intelligent study of the Holy Books,
and not on contradictory interpretations
of other people.
Concrete proof is that Abrahamic religions
have created great saints and not crazy doubters.

Reply by Sugardaddy8910 Apr 29th, 2012 at 4:47PM

Sigh, omniscient and omnipotent could change neither hearts of Lucifer or mine. what Lucifer did and I am doing must be God’s fault LOL

Good Question? (5)

Answer by pukirahe Apr 29th, 2012 at 2:44AM

We should teach our children the love of God.
In order to be successful in teaching any subject,
we must learn and practice it first.
And love of God is number one subject
of our life, because our life, our purpose,
our all, depend on this love.
With this knowledge and practice we attain
to all good things, and we naturally know why
and how to teach it to our children.

WILL I HAVE A JOB SOON?

Will i have a job soon

Asked By: kathygofis 30 minutes ago

Answer by pukirahe Apr 28th, 2012 at 11:40PM

We can easily get a job when we are ready for it.
Job is not a kind of work for salary,
but in reality it is a human activity to preserve self-esteem.
Self esteem requires skill, love and devotion…
For my whole life, I never get a job sufficient
for my livelihood. I have been put into army, prison,
old age….
So, I just do anything that I feel not against God’s laws
and I receive anything that people give me by the
Will of God.
Now I have no paid job, but I am not jobless.

MEN AND WOMEN ARE TREATED EQUALLY?

Do you think men and women are treated equally in our world ?

Asked By: mohapatraneha 36 minutes ago

Good Question? (5)

Answer by pukirahe Apr 28th, 2012 at 11:12PM

No, there is still unimaginable injustice against women.
Many of them are deprived of education
They have more work, less pay, less freedom.
Many even suffer violence in the family,
being abused, sold in their lands and abroad!…
Yes, their sufferings are still tremendous.
If these conditions are not modified urgently,
in families, in nations and on the world,
men are also affected by their own brutality.
Human marurity demands immediate
and radical change.

IF THE WORLD IS REALLY GOING TO END?

If the world is really going to end this year then why did they invent 2013 car models ?

Asked By: AYearWithoutRain 2 hours ago

Answer by pukirahe Apr 28th, 2012 at 9:32PM

You are wise in asking the question
and they are wise in seeing lies about doomsday!
However, there are always many people
wishing for ending of the world as soon as possible:
They are too poor to have enough food.
They are too painful with diseases.
They suffer bitterly with all kinds of injustices.
They see no light at the end of the tunnel.
They wish to know a little earlier rewards of the
next world!…and so on
I think it is wiser to disign car model
using solar energy for the next decade.
