GETTING LOST IN THOUGHT?

Posted on November 2, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

I get lost in thought very often… Is that bad?

Asked By: LostInMyPast (13-15, F) 21 minutes ago

No, you are living more spiritually.
People do not think much nowadays.
They get lost in funs, in jobs, in worries….
It would be best if you get lost in thought
about the love of God. You come to know
how He loves you and what He wants you
to do for His children.
So, your life will be most happy when you
get lost in thoughts and in actions for the
betterment of this world by promoting love,
unity, peace.
Wishing you continuous progress in your
spiritual life.

Baha’u'llah says:

 “Glorified be Thou, then, O my God! I beseech Thee by Thy Most Great Name to assemble them that love Thee around the Law that streameth from the good-pleasure of Thy will, and to send down upon them what will assure their hearts.

Potent art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. Thou art, verily, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.” (Baha’u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u'llah, p. 14)

HOW HAS THE WORLD CHANGED?

Posted on November 1, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

How has the world changed since you were a child?

Asked By: Transcending (18-21, M) 36 minutes ago

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 31st, 2012 at 11:51PM

The world changes tremendously from my childhood.
My grandchild today is thousands of times more
knowledgeable than me:
At the age of 10, she can read thick books in English,
while I did not know ABC.
Other kids all over the world even win world fame.
They are familar with digital gadgets, acquainted
with world cultures and international practices, giving

speeches at various world platforms….
Perhaps, in the next ten years, many grandparents
will not be able to converse with their grandchildren.
There are perhaps no more families
with more than two generations.
I really cannot know how a family will look like by the end
of this century. Of course, it will be harder to imagine
about the whole world!

Abdul-Baha says:

 “It is the inherent nature of things on this earth to change, thus we see around us the change of the seasons. Every spring is followed by a summer and every autumn brings a winter — every day a night and every evening a morning. There is a sequence in all things.

Thus when hatred and animosity, fighting, slaughtering, and great coldness of heart were governing this world, and darkness had overcome the nations, Bahá’u'lláh, like a bright star, rose from the horizon of Persia and shone with the great Light of Guidance, giving heavenly radiance and establishing the new Teaching.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Abdu’l-Baha in London, p. 27)

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS SOCIETY?

Posted on October 30, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

What the hell is wrong with this society?

Asked By: DiaryOfABrokenSoul (16-17, F) 21 minutes ago

Good Question? (4)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 29th, 2012 at 9:22PM

There is no problem with society.
Problem is with my ignorance.
By my ignorance, I don’t know how to accept
the world as it is.
By my ignorance I don’t know how to make myself happy.
By my ignorance I leave behind a generation of
uneducated and suffering children.
The way out is quite clear: education for myself
and education for all kids.
Physical, human and divine education will give
knowledge for building a better and much better world.
Internet today can be used for this purpose.
Send up, share, promote good thoughts and
encourage positive inventions and discoveries.

SORROUNDING YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE?

It is hard, but we can try again and again.
I think that this depends more on us than
on them, according to law of attraction.
People we consider negative can also become
positive with out friendship, support, encouragement.
Not only in friendship, but this law is real in all
aspects of life. Moreover, good or bad things come
from our mind, not from the environment. All people
affected by the same nature, but we have winners
and losers. And objectice study shows that almost
all winners have clear own plans for their lives and
they know how to modify them.
God does not send down any person under an evil star.

Live then the days of thy life, that are less than a fleeting moment, with thy mind stainless, thy heart unsullied, thy thoughts pure, and thy nature sanctified, so that, free and content, thou mayest put away this mortal frame, and repair unto the mystic paradise and abide in the eternal kingdom for evermore.” (Baha’u'llah, The Persian Hidden Words)

PHYSICAL FEATURE ATTRACTS YOU MOST?

What physical feature attracts you most to a person?

Asked By: JustAnotherOptimisticSoul (18-21, M) 25 minutes ago

Good Question? (8)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 28th, 2012 at 6:48PM

Smiling face.
It shows that the person is happy, friendly, positive.
It is hard for unhappy people to smile. Therefore,
for obtaining a smiling face we have to learn
thinking positively.
When I am sad for my ignorance, I try to learn more.
That sadness will disappear when I find the source
of knowledge.
When I am sad for other children being deprived of
education, I try harder to do something for them. When I
have chance to educate a child, or reminding someone
else to do so, my sadness will turn into joy.
I also pray for guidance and protection,
so God will give me inspiration to overcome
unpleasant feelings.
Yes, I love and admire smiling faces.

Prayer is of greatest help.
that is why all prophets teach Their
followers prayers and how to pray.
More than that, today, Baha’u'llah
reveals a huge Book of Prayers and
Meditations.
Mankind in the future will get greater
and greater help from these divine words.

WHAT DO YOU WANT RIGHT NOW?

What do you want right now?

Asked By: Transcending (18-21, M) 23 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Oct 14th, 2012 at 11:28PM

I want to write a very good article about serenity.
I want all people to have a clear and calm mind.
We all do our daily work with love in the heart,
smile on the face, relaxation of our whole body.
Our services occur lightly like butterflies over
flowers, birds on higher branches, clouds on
blue skies.
Why this little dream seems too utopic for some people
who are sweating in a toy factory, for others who are
witnessing a bomb attack, and others still who are
running away as war refugees?…
How and when are we able to conduct a life of serenity
on our beautiful planet?

BEAUTY UGLINESS IN DISGUISE?

Posted on October 15, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Is beauty jsut another way to diguise uglyness…

Asked By: Kayakker (46-50, M) 30 minutes ago

Good Question? (4)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 14th, 2012 at 4:29PM

Ugliness does not exist.
Beauty is beautiful, true and good.
All human beings are intelligent. With intelligence
they create the Internet. With the Internet they reflect
their boundless and eternal beauty. Dances, songs,
games… all are beauty for the eyes, the ears and for
the souls. I can write about this beauty for my whole
life, and there will be no time and space for anything else.
Lower creatures do not divide themselves into two
warrying categories of the beautiful and the ugly. Human
beings, with intellignce should see more clearly our spiritual
and eternal beauty.

Blind thine eyes, that is, to all save My beauty; stop thine ears to all save My word; empty thyself of all learning save the knowledge of Me; that with a clear vision, a pure heart and an attentive ear thou mayest enter the court of My holiness.

WHY PEOPLE KILLING PEOPLE?

Posted on October 6, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why do people kill other people?

Asked By: Tre97 (16-17, M) 15 minutes ago

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 5th, 2012 at 11:03PM

They are forced to.
They are unhealthy.
They make mistakes.
No healthy people want to kill people.
They want to love and to be loved; they
want to forgive and to be forgiven; they
want to live in a complete peaceful world,
without hatred, suspicion, disorder.
Misunderstandings, superstitions and prejudices
in previous centuries have thrown us into a confusing
world, and we have not been able to get our way out.
Now we are entering the Age of Maturity, we are aware
of the desastrous results of a new World War, and we
have stronger desire for a peaceful and prosperous life.
We even try to save the tigers, elephants, panthers…,
so we will make greater efforts to save our intelligent race.
I firmly hope that we will find out excellent solutions.

THINGS NOT ALLOWED IN YOUR HOME?

Posted on October 5, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

What will you never allow in your home?

Asked By: NiloNightShade (36-40, F) 25 minutes ago

Good Question? (8)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 4th, 2012 at 9:15PM

I don’t like many things, but I do not close the doors
of my house to any people.
I don’t like cigarette, alcohol, drug, superstition, prejudice,
backbiting…
If people avoid such things, I think that it would be good.
If others like them, how can I say that I never allow that
in my home. Perhaps, a man comes in drunk, then
he returns drunk, and again drunk, finally he dies sober,
is better than him who comes in sober then dies later in
drunkunness!
Moreover, who gives me the right to judge people entering
my house in the conditions that I dislike. My duty is to
courteously welcome all people as they are and leave them
to God. This is not hypocrisy, it is mutual love and mutual
respect, because they also accept my lower conditions.
