WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH INJUSTICE?

Posted on September 16, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

I am trying to be a real bad person. I want to take revenge from the world of injustice! What should I do?

Good Question? (5)

The world is not unjust.
When something wrong occurs to us,
we used to look for some author of it
to blame for our inconvenience. But, with
years going through life, we see so many
bad things without knowing the source,
so we generally blame the society.
In reality, the happenings are neither good nor
bad; they are all lessons for us to learn and to grow up.
Every individuals see that their sufferings are the most
unbearable; if they overcome they pride of their talents;
if they fail, they blame the unknown world!
In reality, life is not an addition of events, but it is a
process to spiritual progress, and this will be known
only at the last breath by the individual and by God.
Nobody can make any accurate observation concerning
the lives of other people. And we are truly masters
of our own destinies.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “Now vengeance, according to reason, is also blameworthy, because through vengeance no good result is gained by the avenger. So if a man strikes another, and he who is struck takes revenge by returning the blow, what advantage will he gain? Will this be a balm for his wound or a remedy for his pain? No, God forbid! In truth the two actions are the same: both are injuries; the only difference is that one occurred first, and the other afterward. Therefore, if he who is struck forgives, nay, if he acts in a manner contrary to that which has been used toward him, this is laudable. The law of the community will punish the aggressor but will not take revenge.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Some Answered Questions, p. 267)

 

HAIKU

We do injustice

And blame unknown world for it

That’s harmful for us!

IS THERE RIGHT AND WRONG?

Posted on September 13, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Is there right and wrong ?

Asked By: darkice123 34 minutes ago

What may be right for one may be wrong for someone else.

Posted by pukirahe Sep 12th, 2012 at 12:50PM

Wrong is only the absence of right,
like darkness is the absence of light,
evil the absence of good, cold the
absence of heat.
Doing the Will of God is right, absence
of this is wrong.
What is right to me and wrong to another person,
that is not truth. My love to this book, it is hatred
to other people, this is not truth to any people.
Truth is right to all people, and absence of truth
is wrong to all people. And this is the foundation
for agreement among mankind in a civilized world,
which is now the world of a mature mankind who
have clear criteria to define the truth.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “Among the Greeks and Romans the criterion of knowledge was reason — that whatever is provable and acceptable by reason must necessarily be admitted as true. A third standard or criterion is the opinion held by theologians that traditions or prophetic statement and interpretations constitute the basis of human knowing. There is still another, a fourth criterion, upheld by religionists and metaphysicians who say that the source and channel of all human penetration into the unknown is through inspiration. Briefly then, these four criteria according to the declarations of men are: first, sense perception; second, reason; third, traditions; fourth, inspiration.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 20)

PROPHETS DID NOT CONVERT MASSES?

Posted on August 30, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

If you knew all the answers and could give to the masses, would you do it?

Asked By: Shamgar 49 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Aug 30th, 2012 at 5:19AM

The masses have failed to receive wise answers.
All speeches to the masses are only a way to
attract sensible individuals.
I have sent thousands of personal opinions
together with thousands of sacred verses,
but I receive no response from a multitude.
From time to time, there are only individual responses.
I am not disappointed, because I know that
this is the way of God: He sends man one by one to earth
and He receives one by one to heaven.
The effect of our day seems great, it is thanks to
means like the Internet, TV, Radio… but the response
is still individual, The mass cannot lead itself;
its representative cannot impose his view on all
its members.
I think that the Prophets of God have given all answers,
but from now on the response is still individual.
Few thousand people in the future may support my views,
but I cannot represent them in reaching divine Truth.

How can we understand God’s commands and to what use can we put them without the balance of reason?” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 102)

TIRED OF ANSWERING POINTLESS QUESTIONS?

Posted on August 27, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Do you ever get tired of answering these pointless questions?

Asked By: nousernameyet 35 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Aug 27th, 2012 at 5:46AM

No questions are pointless questions.
The question mark (?) alone brings many new thoughts
to a sleeping mind.
The greater power of man is to ask and answer questions
(any questions), while many people wrongly believe that thinking
too much would cause headache or kill neurons that is also
not beneficial to longevity. Science today proves that the
reverse is true: the more a person works intellectually, the more
his intelligence will increase.
What is meditation? It is essentially asking questions
to oneself and trying to answer them.
What is life? Only this question has to be asked
everyday, and new answers may lead a higher step
of spiritual development.
Each time I see this question up here, I pause
to think and then getting new answers from my mind.
Thinking appears as a big waste, if we just sit quietly
and wait for some thoughts to appear accidentally,
and it is even worse if new thoughts are not developed
and translated into action.
I think we need highly these 3 A’s: Ask, Answer and Act.
Ask, Answer and Act will lead to the fourth greater A:
Advancement.
This question of yours has lead me to the formula:
Ask+Answer+Action= Advancement.
Am I wrong?

RELIGION IS A FORCE OF GOOD?

Posted on August 20, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

If religion is supposed to be a force of good why does it create so much hate ?

Asked By: SirSmokealotUK 13 minutes ago

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Aug 19th, 2012 at 4:37PM

No religion is creating hate;
no school is creating ignorance.
Family is good, school is good, religion
is good…; human beings cannot exist
without them.
Religion teaches the unconditional love
of God. He who practices selfless love
is a true religious person; he who hates
only bears the label of religion.
School promotes knowledge. He who conducts
a life of greater and greater knowledge is a true
scholar; he who remains ignorant is not
a good product of the school.
The world will surely become a Paradise
when each individual reads the Holy Books
and practices them in his life.

IS SELF-DEFENSE NECESSARY IN THIS AGE?

Posted on April 23, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Is killing nessescary to defend one’s self?

Asked By: janejopie 3 hours ago

Answer by pukirahe Apr 23rd, 2012 at 4:11AM

Yes, in the Adamic Cycle (6,000 years ago)
No, in the Baha’i Cycle (1863 and now on…)
In the past, people were uncivilized and we had
no ways of solving problems globally.
Today, human beings have reach a global level
of maturity to solve world problems. With a little
more modification, the UN will be able to
establish and maintain peace on our planet.
See how good for the world, when we use the
expenses of defence for education, and work
collectively in the spirit of service to all mankind.
Self-defense will become obsolete and we can turn
our little planet into paradise for all people.

WHO IS GOD TO YOU?

Posted on March 16, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Who is God to you?

Asked By: Precious08 2 hours ago

Good Question? (6)

Answer by pukirahe Mar 16th, 2012 at 2:53AM

I think that this is the most important question
to be asked every day and all people should answer,
so that we may understand the general view.
For me, God is the Creator and Sustainer of all worlds,
because of His boundless love. The purpose of His
creation is for us humans to know He is the Hidden Treasure
and gain a share in this supreme reality.
By reading the Holy Books brought down by His
Messengers we can see the continuity of His Education
about His Pre-existence and His unconditional love.
Now we are at the end of the Adamic Cycle and
the beginning of the Baha’i Cycle in myriad Cycles of
His eternally progressing Plan.

WHAT USE IS THE TRUTH?

What use is the truth?

Asked By: turtlesplash 6 hours ago

Good Question? (3)

Answer by pukirahe Mar 10th, 2012 at 4:26AM

The truth sets us free.
What is Truth? Words of the One True God.
What is freedom? Detachment from our lower self
and from things relating to this phenomenal world.
Where are the creative words? How can we know for
sure that they are from God? How to detach from this world?
But where is God? Why most believers of God are
confusing themselves? So, who am I to answer
satisfactorily all these questions for the
suffering and questioning human race?
