Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 19th, 2012 at 3:51AM

The Internet.
I think that I might become paralysed if it collapsed.
Now all my work daily is on Internet.
All my thoughts have been placed on the Internet.
My correspondence on the Internet.
My learnings, references, quotations… are on the Internet.
Of course my love for God and my service under
His guidance is supreme, but without the Internet
I cannot live happily each day as of now.

HAVING YOUR OWN VEHICLE?

Do you have your own vehicle?

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 3rd, 2012 at 5:51AM

I have no car, no motorbike, no bicycle.
Now walking is really best for my health.
I feel that it is more convenient if I have
a car to visit friends or to by some necessities,
but still I don’t want to think of making money,
so I am thinking more of the goodness of walking.
I may live longer and healthier than moving around
in a car. I have more time to read and to write on my
computer. Reading and writing today can also be done
on the car, but it is not so convenient as sitting at the desk.
If I beg, I believe that God will give, but I really don’t want.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “The spirit of man transcends the qualities and attributes of any natural element. It is greater in attributes than gold, silver or iron, which are single elements and indestructible. As they are free from destruction and qualified with permanence, how much more so is the human spirit free and immortal. How will that ever be destroyed? This is a subject of great importance. There are innumerable proofs in support of it. I hope we may continue it at another time.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 260)

THE MOST WANTED THING IN THIS WORLD?

What is most wanted thing in this world- whether love or gathering money, fame and prestige/

It seems that money is number one,
because many poor people also expect that
they will buy love, fame and prestige with money,
while other things may not be turned into money!
Today we see no world problem is more serious
than the problem of money. It is drowning many nations
and many personatilies by poor financial management,
by corrupted use and by illegal trade of currency…
In reality, selfless love is the most precious asset of man,
but it seems too difficult to see, to understand, to practice.
And luckily, the world is transforming positively thanks to the
widespread of divine education on the Internet.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “When a man has found the joy of life in one place, he returns to that same spot to find more joy. When a man has found gold in a mine, he returns again to that mine to dig for more gold.

This shows the internal force and natural instinct which God has given to man, and the power of vital energy which is born in him.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 33)

Want of pure gold strong

Love of virtue much stronger

With education

USING MONEY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS?

Posted on September 4, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why is it people are thought to use money to solve problems is that the only way ?

Asked By: darkice123 39 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Sep 4th, 2012 at 6:33AM

Money is one of the worst means for bartering.
It may cause collapse to many economies.
We have thought of various means for replacement,
but none has succeeded. Gold and real estates are
better ensured than money; but they are too inconvenient
for exchange. Credit cards and other digital modes
of payments are used, but it may take time to be
popular. With the progress of the world, we are also
thinking of a world currency, but this takes more time.
Our big problem now does not concern money, but
it concern trust among people.
In various communities, in narrow exchange,
people can trust each other with words or signature.
Money is not needed. So, the more our education
can restore trust among people, the more easily the
matter of finance will be solved.
I have seen one case, the load of one debt
destroys many families. Yes, they just borrow and pay around,
and they destroy each other when one of them uses violence.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “Then it is evident that in creation and nature evil does not exist at all; but when the natural qualities of man are used in an unlawful way, they are blameworthy. So, if a rich and generous person gives a sum of money to a poor man for his own necessities, and if the poor man spends that sum of money on unlawful things, that will be blameworthy. It is the same with all the natural qualities of man, which constitute the capital of life; if they be used and displayed in an unlawful way, they become blameworthy.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i World Faith – Abdu’l-Baha Section, p. 320)

BE THE MOST INTERESTING PERSON?

Posted on August 29, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

How to be the most interesting person here?

Asked By: enchantingjade 1 hour ago

Posted by pukirahe Aug 29th, 2012 at 5:08AM

Using avatar with lots of V’s (Victory?)
Asking lots of question on the same subject (Happiness)
Repeting appearance at one place….
But for what?!
Perhaps the purpose of man’s life is not to make the show,
but to live happily, usefully and progressively, even
silently and anonymously.
I feel that you are happy, joyful and progressive
with intelligent questions here and perhaps with goodly
deeds in real world.

REWARDING GOLD COINS TO GOOD DEEDS?

Posted on July 21, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

What if were given gold coins every time we did something nice?

Asked By: joryeshua 1 hour ago

Posted by pukirahe Jul 21st, 2012 at 5:07AM

Gold is not the purpose of man’s life.
Gold is neither good servant nor good master.
Gold is causing destruction to immature souls.
The longer divine education is ignoring, the worse
gold will lead the world to darker horizons.
Yes, God is rewarding His good servants with
starvation, imprisonment, martydom… This mystery
is one of the divine ways to exalt the values of virtues.
Otherwise, people will keep on falsely cheating God with
all forms of so-called chariries, philanthropies, social services.
Clear lessons can be found easily in the lives of saints and martyrs.

WHY IS GOLD SO VALUABLE?

Posted on June 6, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why is gold so valuable?

Asked By: lunatwo128 34 minutes ago

All it is, is a sparkly rock? So why is it so highly prized?

Posted by pukirahe Jun 6th, 2012 at 2:48AM

It really has no value to me, like power, fame, health
or any other physical elements. Heaven does not
belong to possessors of world treasures, but to
possessors of the virtues of God.
