What is your purpose on earth?

Asked By: unpajarovolando 22-25  13 minutes ago

Have you ever asked yourself that question???It is a simple one, but one of greatest enigmas in life.What will you do to fulfill it????

Posted by Me Jun 18th, 2013 at 7:05PM

To live the human life.

Fortunately, religion is teaching me divine life.

It says that man is spirit, therfore his life is spiritual, divine. He is

guided by the Holy Spirit from time immemorial to all eternity.

In the past, only close disciples of the Prophets can receive these lessons

which became distorted with man’s interpretation for following generations.

Today, at the Age of maturity, we invent the Internet, and we have all the

words of God taught directly to each and all individuals.

I do not interpret anything by knowing that man’s interpretation is distorting.

I only mention about the authentic source. Other friends of mine also make

introduction to this divine education. Sooner or later all people will find their treasures.

Wishing to meet all in the Kingdom of God on earth.

Baha’u’llah says:

 “Know ye of a certainty that all the treasures of the earth, all the gold, the silver, and the rare and precious gems they contain, are, in the sight of God, of His chosen ones and His loved ones, as worthless as a handful of clay. For erelong all that is on earth shall perish, and the kingdom will remain unto God, the All-Powerful, the Incomparable. That which perisheth can never profit Us, nor can it profit you, were ye but to reflect.”

What’s the best decision you’ve ever made?

Asked By: itsokay81 31-35, F  22 minutes ago

Posted by Me Jun 18th, 2013 at 3:13AM

To accept the most recent Manifestation of God.

I previously did not believe in God. Since 1960, after reading some Baha’i

books and accepting Baha’u'llah as the Promised One of all religions, I find that my life become purposeful, useful and progressive. Through the teachings of  Baha’u'llah, I come to know my relation to God, to mankind and to the world.

Before, I was ignorant; now I know clearly my ignorance. To answer any questions from my mind or from other people, I turn to Baha’u'llah, His Successors and His institutions. I have found satisfactory answers that I keep on sharing to otheR people who are confused about God as I was before. I am having more and more relatives and friends who are turning to God with love, knowledge and happiness.

Baha’u’llah says:

“The first duty prescribed by God for His servants is the recognition of Him Who is the Dayspring of His Revelation and the Fountain of His laws, Who representeth the Godhead in both the Kingdom of His Cause and the world of creation. Whoso achieveth this duty hath attained unto all good; and whoso is deprived thereof hath gone astray, though he be the author of every righteous deed. It behoveth every one who reacheth this most sublime station, this summit of transcendent glory, to observe every ordinance of Him Who is the Desire of the world. These twin duties are inseparable.”

Are you a leader, or a follower?

Asked By: withintent 46-50, M  19 minutes ago

Good Question?(3)

Posted by Me Jun 17th, 2013 at 7:03PM

I am neither a leader nor a follower. Perhaps, it is more precise to say that I am only follower of God among mankind who are also followers like me.

Some people may think that they are leaders of men and they are leading us to prosperity and happiness. And reality is showing us that they don’t have omniscience and omnipotence to realize their claim.

Other people may think that they are followers of other men. They are also mistaken like leaders. With the maturity of the human race, individuals will use their votes to establish leading institutions, which will serve mankind more humbly and more efficiently.

In this new global civilization, we live together as brothers and sisters in one loving family under God.

I pray and I encourage education for life.

Life is precious, life is noble, life is sacred.

Killing, especially killing prenatal angels, should be understood as

unforgivable, unpardonable, unacceptable crime.

Education should be made universal, particularly education for human life, for

prosperity, for progress, for civilization. This can be done easily and

effectively with the marvelous Internet. All children and adults should

consider true knowledge is their highest esteem.

Here is the free and immense school for physical and spiritual life.

Abdul-Baha says:

“Education holds an important place in the new order of things. The education of each child is compulsory. If there is not money enough in a family to educate both the girl and the boy the money must be dedicated to the girl’s education, for she is the potential mother. If there are no parents the community must educate the child. In addition to this widespread education each child must be taught a profession, art, or trade, so that every member of the community will be enabled to earn his own livelihood. Work done in the spirit of service is the highest form of worship.”

Human being.

Yes I am an equal member of the human family under God.

This sounds so simple and correct, but it is not universally accepted. The proof is that there are still insurmountable division concerning our origin, purpose, education….

It seems that, in order to attain agreement, we have to redo our learning to gain the same knowledge about God, Religion and Mankind. This knowledge is not from man; it must be from God with convincing proofs.

Presently, I think that the following three elements will take us all to that reunion: human maturity, more efficiently accessible Internet, voluntary agreement among national leaders.

By seeing these signs, I believe that world peace is inevitable.

Therefore we must investigate the foundation reality of this heavenly fraternity.”

I am happy always in all conditions.

I am happy in wealth and in poverty, in light and in darkness, in company and

alone.

However, for the last 10 years, I love more to be online.  The Internet provides me the best means for education and I can share instantly and broadly my discovery to other people. This is also most suitable to my age. Up here, I am getting in connection with more friends every day. However, when power is off or my computer ceases to function, I am spending my happy time on planting flowers, rearranging books, making longer promenade to enjoy fresh air and fresh thoughts….

I am more happy to know that God is favoring happiness on all mankind who are truly His children. Wishing that all will know this.

I live fully and happily up here.
I meet true and close friends, new and old. I share and receive new lessons, especially the most valuable golden rule, the counsels of the Messengers of God.
This digital world is not only a stage for entertainment, for tackling personal and global problems, but it is becoming a universal school directly conducted by God. Anyone who truly wish to seek for the truth of God, I think that they can get it right here.
I really wonder how mankind can get into a universal education for a higher civilization if we don’t have the Internet. Traditional schools are now under control of contradictory philosophies. Only here, the truth can appear in complete purity for pure souls to adopt freely and independently.

If any man neglects these high purposes he can never prove acceptable in the sight of God; he stands out with all his shortcomings and claims perfection, and destitute, pretends to wealth.”

Human intelligence.
Without intelligence, oxygen, water, sunlight…. are meaningless.
People may die with too little or too much of anything.
Without intelligence, the monkey can preserve its physical life better than man.
Man’s intelligence is exclusive gift from God for preservation of the spiritual life. With development of intellectual and spiritual capacities, man discovers the mysteries of the immense universe and invents instruments for longevity and for life eternal.
I am thankful to God for favoring me and all human beings with the power of understanding.

Good Question? (3)

Posted by Me Jun 8th, 2013 at 2:45AM

Nowadays, not many people ask this question, because they think that it is a personal matter.
People who try to get the answer are also very rare, because they think that this knowledge is not essential for human life.
Moreover, by tradition, people already have a religion from ancestors and that is enough.
Because of all these situations, I really love to answer this question: do I really have a religion which you don’t have or you don’t need to have?
By learning and living according to the Teachings of Baha’u'llah, I don’t think that I am different or being more religious than other people. Anyone can learn to get the guidance of philosophers, prophets, or they may seek direct guidance from God. They don’t need to have a religious label. They only need true knowledge in order to live purposefully in dignity and happiness.
I think that I don’t have a religion. I have only the guidance of the most recent Messenger of God, Who builds no walls between me and the rest of the whole human race.

The world was in the darkness of indifference and Baha’u'llah is the light of unity.”
