Marriage is most sacred foundation of soicety.
Father, mother, son, daughter, relatives…
are most sacred words in society.
Good health, good morality, good cooperation
are best preserved in families.
Family is most important institution to pass on
culture, civilization, spirit of responsible life.
Family is becoming more necessary in these times
of AIDS, venereal diseases, pandemics….
We need to read tons of books about the goodness of family
to rebuild it for world unity, world peace, world civilization…
No community is more related to humans than their families.

Baha’u’llah says:

 

“Among the majority of the people marriage consists of physical relationship and this union and relationship is temporary for at the end physical separation is destined and ordained. But the marriage of the people of Baha must consist of both physical and spiritual relationship for both of them are intoxicated with the wine of one cup, are attracted by one Peerless Countenance, are quickened with one Life and are illumined with one Light. This is the spiritual relationship and everlasting union. Likewise in the physical world they are bound together with strong and unbreakable ties.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, Baha’i World Faith – Abdu’l-Baha Section, p. 372)

Internet.
No expense for buying books and preserving them.
Capacity greater than all huge libraries.
More easily to make reference and quoting.
More convenient for translating, classifying, rereading.
Convenient in intereaction with various softwares
through various gadgets.
Sharing quite easily without expense.
And lots of more conveniences on the Internet
concerning education, making friends, exchanging views…
All these and other good things are only at the cost of a
coumputer.

Abdu’l-Baha says:

 

“Absolute verities no matter in what book they be recorded must be accepted. If we harbor prejudice it will be the cause of deprivation and ignorance. The strife between religions, nations and races arises from misunderstanding. If we investigate the religions to discover the principles underlying their foundations we will find they agree, for the fundamental reality of them is one and not multiple. By this means the religionists of the world will reach their point of unity and reconciliation. They will ascertain the truth that the purpose of religion is the acquisition of praiseworthy virtues, betterment of morals, spiritual development of mankind, the real life and divine bestowals.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, Foundations of World Unity, p. 15)

WERE YOU MADE FOR THESE TIMES?

Were you made for these times?

Posted by pukirahe Jul 25th, 2012 at 10:36PM

Yes, definitely.
We all are made for all times, especially this time.
People in the past went through education,
got their jobs and live happily through all sorts
of ups and downs.
Today, we also have education, jobs and live the same way.
But this time, it is special, because we have lots more
of temptations, lots more of battles, lots more of successes and failures.
More than that we appear on the Internet, we are judged, we make quite
a big show though mass media which were unknown to our ancestors!
Yes, we all are made for this time, to seek for God
to find Him more difficultly, to obey Him more inconveniently
(with so many new social and divine laws)
and more gloriously because of our unprecedented efforts.
Yes, we should be thankful to God for this particular time.

Abdu’l-Baha says:

 

“I am most pleased with you and am very grateful to find myself in such a revered gathering. I shall remember your spiritual susceptibilities and pray that they may be directed toward the highest, that your love for your Lord and your attraction toward him may increase day unto day. I hope that this revered society may become conducive to the illumination of the city of Paris, in order that the blind may receive sight; the deaf hearing; the dumb the power of speech; and that into these dead bodies the spirit of life may be infused. Then this Paris will become another Paris and this world another world.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 172)

GOD MAKES AN IMPERFECT BEING LIKE MAN?

Posted on July 26, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why would God make an imperfect creature like humans in the first place that he would need to save it? cat-mouse game?

God makes man perfect in the form of seeds.
And He gives her/him the power to know this fact and
to take the responsibility for their development in excellence.
God gives the bee only one perfect skill to make honey.
But He gives man numberless skills to make art, science,
literature, philosophy, civilizations…. which are far more valuable,
sweeter than honey, brighter than diamond….
See how ungrateful we are for showing ingratitude
to such loving, powerful and generous Creator!
Woe for him who thinks that he is an imperfect creation
below the carbon, the rose plant, the bee!!…

Posted by pukirahe Jul 25th, 2012 at 7:24PM

Yes, I do and I believe that God will always take good care of you.
And this the prayer I say for you as well as for myself:

“O Lord! Thou art the Remover of every anguish and the Dispeller of every affliction. Thou art He Who banisheth every sorrow and setteth free every slave, the Redeemer of every soul. O Lord! Grant deliverance through Thy mercy, and reckon me among such servants of Thine as have gained salvation.”
– The Báb, Baha’i Prayers, p. 28-

Wishing that from now on there will be no separation among mankind
because of slavery to labels, names, prejudices… Yes, we all belong the
family of people of free will, free thinkers, free servants of the human race.

“O people, make firm the girdle of endeavor, that perchance religious prejudice may be annulled. For love of God and his servants engage in this great and mighty matter. Religious hatred and rancor is a world-consuming fire, and the quenching thereof most arduous, unless the hand of divine might give men deliverance from this unfruitful calamity.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 25)

BELIEVING ABOUT TOGETHERNESS AFTER DEATH?

Posted on July 26, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why is it even non believers or on religious people think their loved ones are together after death?

Asked By: miniminx 37 minutes ago

My mum in law died today sadly and everyone has been saying ‘she is with her mum now’ but oddly most of them aren’t religious and they are planning this religious ceremony,she was a believer but they are going way over the top, why do people do that?

Good Question? (5)

Posted by pukirahe Jul 25th, 2012 at 5:57PM

Knowledge is not exclusive possession of believers.
Non-believers and non-religious people also
possess knowledge, both true and false.
The distinction among believers and non-believers
does not depend on knowledge, but on various
reasons such as superstitions, prejudices, judgments.
Many people know and think that religion is good,
but they don’t accept religion because they hate
some religious organizations, some priests, some believers….
In reality, there is no clear frontier between believers
and non-believers. People may become believer today
and non-believer tomorrow, and vice versa.
The mature humanity will soon enter the divine education,
and all will become good, happy, progressive without
making distinction with labels.

Baha’u’llah says:

 

“Know then that “life” hath a twofold meaning. The first pertaineth to the appearance of man in an elemental body, and is as manifest to thine eminence and to others as the midday sun. This life cometh to an end with physical death, which is a God-ordained and inescapable reality. That life, however, which is mentioned in the Books of the Prophets and the Chosen Ones of God is the life of knowledge; that is to say, the servant’s recognition of the sign of the splendours wherewith He Who is the Source of all splendour hath Himself invested him, and his certitude of attaining unto the presence of God through the Manifestations of His Cause. This is that blessed and everlasting life that perisheth not: whosoever is quickened thereby shall never die, but will endure as long as His Lord and Creator will endure.”

(Baha’u’llah, Gems of Divine Mysteries, p. 47)
