TRAGEDY COULD BE A BLESSING IN DISGUISE?

Do you believe that ” The one you consider tragedy could be a blessing in disguise ” ?

Asked By: doggieschoice 18 minutes ago

I always complain to all the trials that come to my life but I actually overcome it and my friend told me…” Don’t say I’m weak but once you overcome it you will learn how to be strong “…”Everyday is a miracle”
“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, It’s not the end”.

Answer by pukirahe Apr 26th, 2012 at 4:45AM

Yes, life is a succession of trials and victories.
The more a person overcome great trials,
the more he will reach marvelous victories.
This can be verified with stories of celebrities,
saints, prophets.
Trials defined here are difficulties, miseries, afflictions;
and victories are great virtues admired in the human history:
most concrete are the martyrdom of Jesus Christ, Imam Husayn,
the Bab….

GREATEST COMMANDMENT HARDEST TO ACHIEVE?

Why is the greatest commandment(to love) the hardest to achieve?

Asked By: appointed3rd 3 hours ago

Answer by pukirahe Apr 26th, 2012 at 4:52AM

This depends on personal understanding.
He who knows well why and how, can
achieve it immediately. It is the case
of the saints in the early years of a religion.
See how the Apostles of Christ, the Imams
after Muhammad and the Disciples of the Bab…

POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE INFLUENCE FROM FRIENDS?

Are your friends a positive or a negative influence on your life?

Asked By: mrmike58 4 hours ago

Answer by pukirahe Apr 26th, 2012 at 2:21AM

Environments such as fiends, family, Internet…
usually have negative influence on me. But, reading
of Holy Books has most powerful and positve
influence. Hence, I keep on reading daily to
maintain my spiritual balance.
That is why our world is becoming better and better,
although we have more negative than positive

WHY NOT LET PEOPLE LIVE HAPPILY?

Answer by pukirahe Apr 25th, 2012 at 11:12PM

Religion, Science, Philosophy…. are branches of learning
and not any authorities that prevent people from living happily.
Priests, Philosophers, Scientists… have no rights or
authorities to tell human beings how to live. They can express
their opinions on various matters of life, and individuals
themselves decide how to conduct their lives.
As for social order, that is the job of various branches of
the governmental institutions, established by the people
and for the people.
This requires physical, human and divine education
to modify our life, based on individual rights and liberties
written in their constitutions.
Otherwise, our world will remain for some more time
as an unjust and outdated world – except those who learn
to make themselves free.

No, never.
God is my most intimate lover and I will never make
any change for the love of the world: parents, relatives,
friends, kings, teachers and so on.
In fact, I am bringing all into the boundless love
of God that is good for all His creatures.
Yes, religion is my divine education
to practice the selfless love of God;
it is not a label that I would throw away by
the request of God’s servants.

Answer by pukirahe Apr 25th, 2012 at 9:14PM

Yesterday was my last day.
Today I am starting a new day of worship and service.
My answering questions is worship,
and my reminding people about the love of God
is service. If something causes me to die tonight,
I think that I am completely satisfied.
If I wake up again tomorrow,
I will think of some other new way of
worship and service until my last breath
which I am always aware of.
Yes, it would very bad if I die
in a moment without remembrance of God.

Abdul-Baha says:

“I wish to tell you the story of two martyrs; one was a Persian nobleman, a favorite at court, possessed of much wealth and known throughout all the country. When it was discovered that he was a follower of Baha’o'llah, this glorious man was taken into custody and in company with another thrown into prison without food or water. The third day one of them requested the jailer to give him a cup of tea. Struck with his attitude of humility, the jailer did as requested; thanking him the prisoner said: “I am exceedingly sorry to trouble you, but pray have a little patience with our requests tonight, for tomorrow night we shall be the guests of God.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 48)

Through God my best Friend

YOU ARE RELIGIOUS OR SPIRITUAL?

Religious or spiritual? What are you?

Asked By: PrincessWhateverrrrr 2 hours ago

Can you tell me more about your choice

Answer by pukirahe Apr 25th, 2012 at 5:19PM

All human beings are spiritual,
because their souls are the breath of God.
So, I am naturally spiritual since I was born.
Then I seek for development through physical,
human and divine education, like other
human beings.
And by divine education, I realize that
the Manifestations of God alone can give
perfect interpretations about all things
concerning God, His creation, His Revelation,
and the purpose of all His work.
By learning and practicing these Teachings of
the Prophets, I consider myself as religious,
which is truly satisfactory to my spirituality.
It seems that followers of religions are spiritual
and religious like me; people who deny God
are still confusing about this fact. I hope that they will
learn and will all become happy with the Divine
Guidance of the Messengers of God.

Abdul-Baha says:

“We must care for man’s two natures; for as the material man makes certain demands for food and raiment and if not looked after suffers, even so his spiritual reality suffers without care. This is why the divine messengers come to the rescue — to care for the reality, that man’s thoughts may unfold and his aims become realized, that he many inherit a new field of progress, for the spiritual side should be cared for as much as the corporeal; the help that comes is through the resuscitating breath of the Holy Spirit.”

Year of Dragon, Day 95

Eating, speaking, wrapping and unwrapping.
In a proverb, our ancestors say:”You should
first learn how to eat, to speak, to wrap and
to unwrap.”
And even at this age of over 70, I don’t
know how to eat well! Meat is harmful to
my heart; vegetable is intoxicated with
fertilizers, water from polluted rivers is
unsafe…. So, how should I eat to maintain
this lousy body up to 100?!
Then, I decide to forget about eating
physical food and think of spiritual food
which is more essential for my spiritual
life. Solving this difficulty is my real bliss.

Abdul-Baha says:

“Acca was a fever-ridden town in Palestine. It was said that a bird attempting to fly over it would drop dead. The food was poor and insufficient, the water was drawn from a fever- infected well and the climate and conditions were such that even the natives of the town fell ill. Many soldiers succumbed and eight out of ten of our guard died. During the intense heat of that first summer, malaria, typhoid, and dysentery attacked the prisoners, so that all the men, women and children were sick at one time.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 17)

Really difficult
To learn how to eat quite well
