Baha’u’llah says:

 

“Consider, for instance, the revelation of the light of the Name of God, the Educator. Behold, how in all things the evidences of such a revelation are manifest, how the betterment of all beings dependeth upon it. This education is of two kinds.The one is universal. Its influence pervadeth all things and sustaineth them. It is for this reason that God hath assumed the title, “Lord of all worlds.” The other is confined to them that have come under the shadow of this Name, and sought the shelter of this most mighty Revelation. They, however, that have failed to seek this shelter, have deprived themselves of this privilege, and are powerless to benefit from the spiritual sustenance that hath been sent down through the heavenly grace of this Most Great Name.” (Baha’u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u'llah, p. 189)

We correct our own faults, instead of correcting others.
For example, we cease to tell lie, we cease to steal,
we cease to judge, and doing the reverse.

Abdul-Baha says:

 

“Strive ye by day and night to cultivate your unity to the fullest degree. Let your thoughts dwell on your own spiritual development, and close your eyes to the deficiencies of other souls. Act ye in such wise, showing forth pure and goodly deeds, and modesty and humility, that ye will cause others to be awakened.”

They die in oblivion and the world goes on.

LOL! Don’t most of us die in oblivion anyway? Some religious leaders die in infamy, like Jim Jones and David Koresh, but they dodn’t lose their faith first.

Baha’u’llah says:

 

“Well is it with the man of discernment who hath recognized and perceived the Truth, and the one possessed of a hearing ear who hath hearkened unto His sweet Voice, and the hand that hath received His Book with such resolve as is born of God, the Lord of this world and of the next, and the earnest wayfarer who hath hastened unto His glorious Horizon, and the one endued with strength whom neither the overpowering might of the rulers, nor the tumult raised by the leaders of religion hath been able to shake.”

You have intelligence to question about His existence.
Intelligence cannot appear from nowhere or from
the unintelligent universe.

Reply by GnatFree Jun 3rd, 2012 at 7:52PM

So because I can argue against god being around that proves he is around? Talk about a self proving theory.

Reply by BluOmni Jun 3rd, 2012 at 9:02PM

Intelligence is a form of energy as is the brain, the body, humanity, nature, Earth, the Sun, the solar system, galaxies, Universes, atoms, electrons, quarks, Strings-waves-of-possibility. … All of these forms equal “God” which interconnects, and interrelates all energy. It is the implicate order, this holomovement we see with our limited senses. All things are evidence of “God.”

Baha’u’llah says:

 

“Say, did ye not hearken to the Voice of the Crier, calling aloud in the wilderness of the Bayan, bearing unto you the glad-tidings of the coming of your Lord, the All-Merciful? Lo! He is come in the sheltering shadow of Testimony, invested with conclusive proof and evidence, and those who truly believe in Him regard His presence as the embodiment of the Kingdom of God. Blessed is the man who turneth towards Him, and woe betide such as deny or doubt Him.”

MY PILGRIM’S NOTES DAY THREE

Pilgrim’s Notes of a Baha’i

The Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa and ‘Akko

With over half a million visitors a year, the Bahá’í Gardens inHaifaand ‘Akko are among the most popular sites in theMiddle East. Their unique design, combining geometrical shapes and exquisite detailing with loving conservation of natural and historic landscape features, leaves an indelible impression on visitors. Many return again and again to experience the changing seasons and relive the serene tranquility and uplifting spirit of these special places.

In July 2008, the Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa and ‘Akko were inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, in recognition of their “outstanding universal value” as holy places and places of pilgrimage for the followers of the Bahá’í Faith.

Like all great works of art, these extraordinary sites are tangible expressions of the human spirit. Here the impetus was not the creativity of a great artist, but rather the loving labor and sacrifice of many people from diverse origins and several generations, inspired by a common faith and an optimistic vision of our collective future.

The Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa »

These gardens, located in the heart ofHaifa, comprise a staircase of nineteen terraces extending all the way up the northern slope ofMount Carmel. The golden-domed Shrine of the Báb, the resting place of the Prophet-Herald of the Bahá’í Faith, stands on the central terrace, looking across the bay towards ‘Akko.

While different parts of the gardens offer a variety of experiences, they speak in a common language of graveled paths, hedges and flower beds groomed and nurtured by dedicated gardeners. The gardens frame panoramic views of the city, the Galilee Hills and theMediterranean Sea.

The Bahá’í Gardens in ‘Akko »

The gardens at Bahjí in ‘Akkoform a wide circle surrounding the historic mansion where Bahá’u’lláh, the Prophet-Founder of the Bahá’í Faith, resided during the final years of His life and the shrine where His remains were laid to rest.

The approach to the circular garden is a long, straight path framed with cypress trees and informal plantings. As you walk, the silence seems to grow in intensity. Entering the heart of the site is like arriving in a world of peace and serenity, a wall-less sanctuary that is protected without being enclosed.

http://www.ganbahai.org.il/en/

In two previous days, I have presented to you the physical and spiritual gardens in the world of God. Today, I present to you another garden within our own self, which also need be beautified by the guidance of God:

“3. O FRIEND! In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love, and from the nightingale of affection and desire loosen not thy hold. Treasure the companionship of the righteous and eschew all fellowship with the ungodly.” (Baha’u'llah, The Persian Hidden Words)

Yes, without the education of Baha’u’llah, how can mankind enjoy such great festivities and how to live happily from eternity to eternity?

Baha’i Garden

Happy Pilgrims

All human beings are miserable.
Poverty, violence, illiteracy…are still rampant on earth.
However, our hope is great and practical.
Once we concentrate on self-education and
providing free education to other people,
our world will become paradise.
Yes, this is practical, because human beings
in all corners of the world can get proper education,
through the Internet.
Please, let us all concentrate on this purpose:
taking and giving physical, human and divine
education to our relatives, neighbours, acquaintants,
strangers and enemies!
See, the world is transforming positively.

Baha’u’llah says:

 

“If such things be revealed in this Dispensation, and such incidents come to pass, at the present time, what would the people do? I swear by Him Who is the true Educator of mankind and the Revealer of the Word of God that the people would instantly and unquestionably pronounce Him an infidel and would sentence Him to death. How far are they from hearkening unto the voice that declareth: Lo! a Jesus hath appeared out of the breath of the Holy Ghost, and a Moses summoned to a divinely-appointed task! Were a myriad voices to be raised, no ear would listen if We said that upon a fatherless Child hath been conferred the mission of Prophethood, or that a murderer hath brought from the flame of the burning Bush the message of “Verily, verily, I am God!”

All the human race are serving the Cause of God, consciously and unconsciously, because they are truly the children of God. Yes, my suggestion is powerless, but His Will is omnipotent.

Baha’u’llah says:

“It behoveth every just and fair-minded person to render thanks unto God — exalted be His glory — and to arise to promote this pre-eminent Cause, that fire may turn into light, and hatred may give way to fellowship and love. I swear by the righteousness of God! This is the sole purpose of this Wronged One. Indeed in proclaiming this momentous Cause and in demonstrating its Truth We have endured manifold sufferings, hardships and tribulations.”
