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.”

DEFINING A PERSON’S PERSONALITY?

Posted on November 10, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

How is a person’s personality define? by their words or their actions?

Asked By: godgiftowomen (22-25, M) 24 minutes ago

Good Question? (4)

Posted by pukirahe Nov 9th, 2012 at 8:38PM

Not by words or actions, but by thoughts.
We cannot read other people’s thoughts
so we cannot define.
In reality, we are what we think.
Morever, thoughts are not inanimate objects,
they travel faster than the speed of light to
where we don’t know. Finally, they will make
the man angel or animal with man’s consent.
Divine education shows us how to make
our spirit master of our thoughts. Then, we will
become true master with our choice.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “Personality is of two kinds. One is the natural or God-given personality which the western thinkers call individuality, the inner aspect of man which is not subject to change; and the other personality is the result of acquired arts, sciences and virtues with which man is decorated. When the God-given virtues are thus adorned, we have character. When the infinite effulgences of God are revealed in the individuality of man, then divine attributes, invisible in the rest of creation, become manifest through him and one man becomes the manifestor of knowledge, that is, divine knowledge is revealed to him; another is the dawning place of power; a third is trustworthy; again, one is faithful, and another is merciful.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 130)

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.

(Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 276)

IF YOU COULD BECOME IMMORTAL?

Posted on November 8, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

If you could become immortal, would you?

Asked By: angelina408 (13-15, F) 10 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Nov 7th, 2012 at 6:15PM

All human beings are immortal.
Physical immortality is impossible because
all composed objects will be decomposed.
Only the soul, which is not composed of physical
elements, is eternal.
Because of this great love of God for all human beings,
He keeps on sending down His Messengers to call
each individual to make good preparations for this
transcendant existence. Radiant soul will exist like
the sun and gloomy soul will exist like earth.
And these preparations are taught in details in
the Holy Books which are now available for all
mankind on the Internet.
He who seeks will find.

Abdul-Baha says:

Verily, they are peopled, but let it be known that the dwellers accord with the elements of their respective spheres. These living beings do not have states of consciousness like unto those who live on the surface of this globe: the power of adaptation and environment moulds their bodies and states of consciousness, just as our bodies and minds are suited to our planet.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 114)

BELIEVING IN INVISIBLE THINGS?

¿Why believe in Satan, but not Santa?

Because visible things are not real.
The village where I was born is now
only a ricefield, the road I used to walk
on is now covered with grass, the friends
I played together in childhood have disappeared.
The virtual world is so real that all my activities
are performed up here: learning, exchanging
opinions, getting accurate information about the
achievements of co-religionists in other countries….
It seems that the mature humanity will spend more
time for meditation about the invisible world of Revelation.

I wish to awaken you out of your deep slumber. Do you know in what day you are living? Do you realize in what dispensation you exist? Have you not read in the holy scriptures that at the consummation of the ages there would dawn a day — the sum total of all past days? This is the day when the Lord of hosts hath come on the clouds of glory.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 37)

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

Are you hungry?

Good Question? (4)

Posted by pukirahe Nov 7th, 2012 at 3:39PM

I am more and more hungry spiritually.
I want to get knowledge about many things,
but the more I learn, the more new realities
require recognition. I don’t know what is
Higgs boson, what is string universes, what is
the virtual world, the real world, the life after life…
I am answering questions up here for more
learning, for example, to know more about
the thinking of human beings on the same word.
Hunger? What exactly is hunger? What is physical
food? What is spiritual food? Who can provide
food for the satisfaction of each individual and
of all human beings?…
Now I am more hungry than a moment ago.

Posted by pukirahe Nov 3rd, 2012 at 4:45PM

The Hidden Words of Baha’u'llah.
It is a Holy Book revealed by the most recent
Messenger of God, the Promised One of
all Religions.
In this Book, Baha’u’llah condenses the teachings
of the Prophets of former Ages. The learning
and practicing the verses of this Book alone will make our
world a complete new world.
Moreover, this essential Book will shed light on all
Holy Books of the past. Because, the main concepts
about God, Prophet, Man, Soul, Virtue, Revelation,
Creation, Salvation… are clearly, briefly, profoundly
redefined and interpreted.
After reading the first time, most readers will want
to bring it along for daily rereading and meditation.
This and other Holy Books are now available free
on the Internet.

Mankind are now very mature,
we can distinguish clearly faith from superstition,
truth from falseness, divine teachings from hearsays.
With the Internet, we can get the real picture of the
whole world at every minute. At present, there are
no warnings from any official scientific or religious
agencies about the end of the world in this decade,
this century or this millennium.
Rumors may keep on creating panic among some small
groups of people, but no happenings can bring worry to
all mankind.

 “Such hath been the patience, the calm, the resignation and contentment of this people that they have become the exponents of justice, and so great hath been their forbearance, that they have suffered themselves to be killed rather than kill, and this notwithstanding that these whom the world hath wronged have endured tribulations the like of which the history of the world hath never recorded, nor the eyes of any nation witnessed. What is it that could have induced them to reconcile themselves to these grievous trials, and to refuse to put forth a hand to repel them? What could have caused such resignation and serenity? The true cause is to be found in the ban which the Pen of Glory hath, day and night, chosen to impose, and in Our assumption of the reins of authority, through the power and might of Him Who is the Lord of all mankind.”

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….

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.”

WHY QUITTING THE GAME OF LIFE?

Why should i quit the game of life?

Asked By: Kryptal (18-21, M) 17 minutes ago

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 27th, 2012 at 6:18PM

Firstly life is not a game.
If it is a game, then we must quit it
for more thrilling games.
Finally, no game is leading to any life purpose.
Moreover, it creates lots of fools who claim to be losers.
Life is the most sacred existence to advance purposefully.
It is not to win any award or championship as in games,
but it is to attain blissful immortality.
I am thankful to God for giving me the life of an
intelligent being like all other individuals among the human race.

For the letters of negation, no matter how far they may be removed from the holy fragrances of Thy knowledge, and however forgetful they may become of the wondrous splendors of the dawning light of Thy beauty, which are shed from the heaven of Thy majesty, must needs exist in Thy realm, so that the words which affirm Thee may thereby be exalted.”
