Women today are making outstanding progress. Hillary Clinton,
Oprah Winfrey, Queen Rania of Jordan… may have greater
influence and earn higher esteem than various presidents.
Women do not take the presidency, partly because they were
oppressed too long, partly because they are not lovers of power.
It is right as Mark Twain said that when the power of love
is mightier than the love of power we will have peace.
For a better and civilized world, we all, men and women,
should try our best to give higher priority to education of
girls. As potential mothers and first teachers of their children,
they will bring out a more perfect human race.
Wishing that with mothers’ love and education we will
have more lasting world peace and progress.

Baha’u’llah says:

 “Thou hearest, O my God, my sighs and my groaning, and beholdest my powerlessness, and my poverty, and my misery, and my woes, and my wretchedness. I swear by Thy might! I have wept with such a weeping that I have been unable to make mention of Thee, or to extol Thee, and cried with such a bitter cry that every mother in her bereavement was bewildered at me, and forgot her own anguish and the sighs she had uttered.”

(Baha’u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u'llah, p. 271)

SOMETHING IS WORRYING YOU RIGHT NOW?

Posted on November 9, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Is something worrying you right now? What is it?

Asked By: JeanaMai (41-45, F) 17 minutes ago, 3 days left to answer.

My guardian dog “Boo” has a wound on his leg. He has been seen too, medicated and made as comfortable as possible. But, I love him. We have ‘saved” one another from mortal harm several times. So…I am worried about him. Are you worried about anything or anyone?

Good Question? (4)

Posted by pukirahe Nov 8th, 2012 at 8:22PM

Nothing is causing worry to me.
In life, there are works to do, problems to solve
and goals to reach.
All are placed under the order set by our mind
from highest priority to simple routine.
Empty stomach, wounded dog, dying cat…
are matters to solve, not to worry.
Jobs lost, house burnt, relatives die
are matter to solve, not to worry.
Our goals not yet reached, new opportunities
require change, we will die some day,
these are matters to be attained with efforts,
considerate preparations, active practice,
nothing to worry.
Worries are harmful because they damage our health,
weaken our mind, veil our soul
that will only lead us to more harmful worries. We all
have powerful mind to use for mastering our own destiny.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “In former centuries kings and rulers have absolutely dominated millions of men and have been thereby enabled to carry out whatsoever they desire. If they willed to bestow happiness and peace, they could do so; and if they determined to inflict suffering and discomfort, they were equally capable. If they desired to send men to the field of battle, none could oppose their authority; and if they decreed their kingdoms should enjoy the bliss and serenity of immunity from war, this condition prevailed. In a word, kings and rulers have been able to control millions of human beings and have exercised that dominion with the utmost despotism and tyranny.

The point is this: that to gain control over physical bodies is an extremely easy matter, but to bring spirits within the bonds of serenity is a most arduous undertaking. This is not the work of everybody. It necessitates a divine and holy potency, the potency of inspiration, the power of the Holy Spirit.

DO YOU WRITE AND KEEP A JOURNAL?

Posted on October 30, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Do you write and keep a journal about your thoughts of life?

Asked By: DiaryOfABrokenSoul (16-17, F) 18 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Oct 30th, 2012 at 3:16AM

For the last few years I have written down
all my thoughts, almost daily, as a journal
on wordpress.com. This is really good because
the document can be kept eternally in the air
without any problem of storage and maintenance.
Many matters I write down are still early for
application all over the world, therefore I hope
that my grandchildren will refer to people of
their generation.
Some of those matters are:
Education to all children at global level.
World unity, world peace, world civilization.
World citizen, world government.
World language…
The use of the Internet for education….

Abdul-Baha says:

 “The purpose of man’s creation is, therefore, unity and harmony, not discord and separateness. If the atoms which compose the kingdom of the minerals were without affinity for each other, the earth would never have been formed, the universe could not have been created. Because they have affinity for each other, the power of life is able to manifest itself, and the organisms of the phenomenal world become possible. When this attraction or atomic affinity is destroyed, the power of life ceases to manifest; death and nonexistence result.”

BRINGING BACK THE HIPPIE MOVEMENT?

Posted on October 20, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Who thinks we should bring back the hippie movement? And why

Asked By: hl1984 (26-30, F) 14 minutes ago

Good Question? (6)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 19th, 2012 at 9:42PM

A good effect of that movement was its showing of burning
desire for peace, with efforts to break down all
prejudices, all formalities, all traditional restrictions.
But wishing or opposing is not positive enough to
cause radical change to the old society.
We need newer concept about life and more positive
measures for change. This must be done through education.
This may take time, but this is the best way in the history of man.
We can only attain high civilization under the education of
Buddha, of Christ, of Baha’u'llah.
The more we serve actively for this high ideal, the more
we will meet other people of good will in this field. Our world
is changing not in the name of a movement, but in the
quiet change of the human hearts.
All hearts love and want to serve the Cause of peace,
prosperity and progress.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “Those efforts which create general interest are universal; their results are likewise universal for humanity has become interdependent. The international laws of to-day are of vast importance, for as international politics bring nations nearer to one another – and thus promote a bond of oneness which acts as a magnet to attract the divine confirmations – the results and benefits are limitless. Therefore, let us say that every universal cause is divine and every personal matter is human or limited.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 141)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 10th, 2012 at 5:49PM

I consider my answering questions as working,
because it serves my purpose and it takes most
of my time every day, although I earn no income with this.
In answering another question, I say that
“Human beings are created to serve, not to be employed.”
My answering questions serves the Cause of God
in promoting world peace, the highest goal of man
in this Age of human maturity.
This is real work that brings me joy, contentment and progress:
joy with friendship, contentment with service, and
progress with learning.

GREATEST INVENTION HAS YET TO COME?

Posted on October 7, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Do you think the greatest invention of Mankind has yet to come?

Asked By: 4thdimensiondream (56-60, M) 48 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Oct 6th, 2012 at 8:53PM

Not yet.
The greatest one now is the Internet, the virtual world.
But it was invented when mankind was still immature,
divided, confusing.
The greatest invention of mankind will come after 2021,
that is after world peace, when all mankind truly cooperate
in building the Kingdom of God on earth. We will no longer
interest in the virtual world, but in the real spiritual world.
From then on we will understand what is the world of Revelation
and we healthily make our amazing journey in it.
Our so-called real world may expand to the whole solar system,
and our world of Revelation will be the complete immensity.
Blessed are the generations of man after 2021.

POSITIVE EFFECT OF NEGATIVE SITUATION?

Posted on October 6, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Name a positive side effect of a negative situation.

Asked By: Spann0r (26-30, M) 54 minutes ago

Specific examples are welcome.

Posted by pukirahe Oct 6th, 2012 at 6:24AM

All medals have their reverse faces.
Glory may become humility; then humility glory.
But rules also have exceptions.
Usually, optimism is better than pessimism.
With optimism, we would go an extra mile,
we andvance another step, we wait for one
more second, then things may change.
The more we look into the positive effects of
things, the better we will master our own life.
Examples about this reality are quite abundant
on the Internet as well as in real life. Interview
the champions at ParaOlympic Games, you will
see how optimism has changed miraculously their lives.

 “This meeting of yours tonight is very different in character. It is a universal gathering; it is heavenly and divine in purpose because it serves the oneness of the world of humanity and promotes international peace. It is devoted to the solidarity and brotherhood of the human race, the spiritual welfare of mankind, unity of religious belief through knowledge of God and the reconciliation of religious teaching with the principles of science and reason. It promotes love and fraternity among all humankind, seeks to abolish and destroy barriers which separate the human family, proclaims the equality of man and woman, instills divine precepts and morals, illumines and quickens minds with heavenly perception, attracts the infinite bestowals of God, removes racial, national and religious prejudices and establishes the foundation of the heavenly Kingdom in the hearts of all nations and peoples.”

IGNORANT PEOPLE ARE ANNOYING?

Aren’t those people who think that they know everything so annoying to all us people who actually do know everything

Good Question? (6)

Best Answer by pukirahe (Chosen By Asker):

Oct 6th, 2012 at 4:58AM

We are all annoying, because we know nothing like them.
What is true, what is good, what is beautiful? We really dont know.
I answer questions up here, not to show that I know,
but to show that we know nothing, and we better observe
the rule of mutual love and mutual respect, to reach temporary
agreements for our daily life.
You are free to think, to say, to do anything which
you consider as true, good and beautiful. We let other
people living their way. Then we tolerantly agree to agree,
or to silently disagree, on anything in order that we
will have peace to think a little more deeply and to act
a little more civilized than yesterday.
Then, generations to come will contemplate a world full of
light in the night sky and feel proud about the inventions
of their ancesrors.
Then we will look dowm from heavens
to contemplate greater achievements of our descendants.
Isn’t that our joy? So, what is the use of all disputes,
conflicts and wars!

He was constantly under the stress of great calamity — now in prison, now in chains, now threatened by the sword — until finally He broke the cage of captivity, left this mortal world and ascended to the heaven of God. He endured all these tribulations for our sakes and suffered these deprivations that we might attain the bestowals of divine bounty. Therefore, we must be faithful to Him and turn away from our own selfish desires and fancies in order that we may accomplish that which is required of us by our Lord.”

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.
