EXCITING WITH JOURNEY OR DESTINATION OR BOTH?

Posted on August 12, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Is it the journey that is most exciting or the destination or both? 🙂

It is not the journey or the destination,
it is drawing nearer and nearrer.
We can never reach the destination of
our spiritual journey back to God;
the journey itself is very challenging,
very adventurous, very far away. But
the vision about God more and more clearly,
more and more certainly, more and more magnificent…
that causes our soul to feel completely serene, peaceful,
and blissful. And this feeling becomes stronger and
stronger throughout our journey till the end without end.
Usually, attainment of the destination confirms
the disappointment of the short journey, while the
unclear destination has no strong attraction; only
the drawing near would be ideal. That is the concrete horizon
beyond time and space. It is like the drop of river water
to continue its journey to the destination in the ocean.

Abdu’l-Baha says:

 

“Every single atom has its coursings throughout all the kingdoms of life. For instance, that which has gone into the composition of a human being was at one time in the mineral kingdom. Along the degrees of the mineral kingdom it journeyed, appearing in various forms and reflecting various images, manifesting a peculiar virtue in each. In the vegetable kingdom, it again partook of many experiences and through each experience became adorned with an added attribute. Having perfected its journeyings here, it entered the animal kingdom and was incarnated throughout multitudes of animal forms and finally, in the human kingdom it traversed endless forms of humanity, in each form of composition showing forth a particular aspect of the one power.

The forms of life are infinite, therefore the transferences of this primordial unit throughout the degrees of creation are infinite.”

(Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 167)

Do you have a good and happy family?

Asked By: foxfactor 52 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Aug 12th, 2012 at 5:34AM

Yes, I have a very good and happy family.
In June this year we have family reunion
with all membres returning from France and the US.
Our children are more progressive than us,
and their children are more progressive than them.
All members of our paternal and maternal families are good.
Our in-laws are good, our friends are good.
We think of one another positively, and we treat
one another with mutual love and mutual respect.
We freely and independently intivestigate the truth
and living our individual life without judging others.
I believe this is the result of divine education,
therefore I want my acquaintants to give notice to this.
Many good and happy families will become foundation
of better nations and better world.
Our future only depends of God and not on anyone else.
Wishing goodness and happiness to you all.

Abdu’l-Baha says:

 

“Education holds an important place in the new order of things. The education of each child is compulsory. If there is not money enough in a family to educate both the girl and the boy the money must be dedicated to the girl’s education, for she is the potential mother. If there are no parents the community must educate the child. In addition to this widespread education each child must be taught a profession, art, or trade, so that every member of the community will be enabled to earn his own livelihood. Work done in the spirit of service is the highest form of worship.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 82)

IF YOU ARE A SUPERHERO?

Posted on August 12, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

If you are a superhero, would saving lives be as important as ending a life if it would protect the rest of humanity?

Asked By: Greatbrickwall 22 minutes ago

if you said yes, whose life deserves to be ended to ensure the safety of the rest of humanity?

Posted by pukirahe Aug 11th, 2012 at 11:34PM

No heroes, superheroes or saviours are
given the responsibility to protect humanity,
or even a country.
That is only a pretext used by dictators
in the ages of human immaturity.
Today, we have all the Holy Books to discover
that God is the only Creator and Protector
of all mankind. All Messengers of God have come
not for mass protection, but for teaching each
individual to protect himself as a perfect image
of God.
The soul that obey the commands of the Prophets
obtains eternal life; the disobedient one deprives
it by himself.
The lessons left by the teachings and the lives
of Christ, Buddha, Muhammad… are evident proofs.
They return to God as perfect images of God and remind
all individuals to do the same. They appoint nobody
as protectors of the nations or of the world.
Again, I thankfully express my individual happiness
to see that the Holy Books are available for all
mankind to study and to verify.

Verily Thou art the All-Powerful, the Protector, the Almighty, the Self-Subsisting

WHAT IS PERFECTION TO YOU?

Posted on August 12, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

What is perfection to you?

Asked By: MissingInAfterlife 32 minutes ago

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Aug 11th, 2012 at 10:47PM

Understanding perfectly and answering perflectly
this question is perfection.
The stone giving jade is perfect.
The plant giving fruit is perfect.
The animal producing offsprings is perfect.
The human being giving proper education
to his children is perfect.
Other creatures reach their perfection naturally
through time.
Human beings reach their perfection through
education and practice. Deprivation of education
human beings are worse than other creatures,
because they can never reach perfection.
Today, all humans are given equal opportunies
to obtain perfect education on the Internet –
we can select our books for physical, mental
and spiritual development.
All human beings may not have sufficient computers,
but with active sharing mankind can provide education
to all individual membres.
They who refuse to receive their shares are responsible
for their own destinies. People who refuse to offer their
facilities are also responsible for their destinies.
It is now really ridiculous to blame God
for not providing sufficient means of education
to all children – all equal human beinps. Learners,
please learn; teachers, please teach. In this Age,
the imperfection of one person is the imperfection
of the whole human race.

Abdu’l-Baha says:

 

“When we come to the estate of man, we find his kingdom is vested with a divine superiority. Compared to the animal, his perfection or his imperfection is superior. In comparison with man the perfection of a flower is insignificant. Yet if man remain content in an undeveloped state viewed from the point of capacity he is the lowest of creatures. If he attains unto his heritage through divine wisdom, then he becomes a clear mirror in which the beauty of God is reflected; he has eternal life and becomes a participator of the sun of truth. This is to show you how considerable are the degrees of human achievement.

(Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 110)

DO YOU LIKE YOUR JOB?

Posted on August 12, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Do you like your job,why or why not and what do u do?

Asked By: itsgood2beback 52 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Aug 11th, 2012 at 7:46PM

I like my job, and I think that most of people
like their jobs, because it is much better than
having no jobs.
I luckily have jobs that I don’t have sufficient
health to do all. In sum, I can do anything I
like without payment, so jobs are always available.
Most of unemployed people suffer, not because of
social unemployment, but because they are not ready
to work. Peope who are ready to work hard with low or
without payment, usually get jobs, and their
income will increase.
It is also better if they train themselves to be
more skilful, more hardworking, more perseverent.
Today, my friends don’t suffer unemployment
because they are ready to do any work in the spirit
of service to mankind. They are poor in the beginning,
but they usually have better life when they become older.
They have more friends for mutual encouragement, mutual
support, mutual assistance. Nobody are born to die in
unemployment, even the impaired and the unprivileged people.
Our real suffering is not because of unemployment,
but because of lack of education.
All world problems are not problems of jobs,
but problems of lack of spirituality.
Happy are spiritual and educated individuals.
Leaders, your citizens need education and spirituality,

not jobs, pensions, medicares….

Abdu’l-Baha says:

 

“While others are attracted to material things, praise be to God, you are attracted to the spiritual. All the inhabitants here amuse themselves with dreams of the earth and disguise themselves with fantastic dress during these days; but you are occupied with God. In all the theatres one hears songs of the earth, but our song is the divine mention. Let us thank God for having led us to this point, to be chosen for the mention of His name. He has thrown upon us the light of the kingdom; let us have no thought save this glorification, that our entire happiness may consist in serving Him. Let us thank God and implore Him continually to make us more illumined each day, that we may have more spiritual attraction and render greater service to His mention.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 55)

NAME SOMETHING THAT IS SWEET

Posted on August 12, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Name something that is sweet

Asked By: ChivasRegal1 36 minutes ago

Good Question? (5)

Posted by pukirahe Aug 11th, 2012 at 4:48PM

Honey is sweet.
Friendship sweeter.
Love, sweetest.
We have thought and talked much about love,
but we have not learned and practiced properly
to enjoy this sweetest thing in the world of
creation and the world of revelation.
This is not to be learned and practiced in one year,
one lifetime, one millennium, but from beginning without
beginning to the end without end. Love never decreases
its warmth, its sweetness, its attraction.
We need to learn and practice the love from God to us,
from us to Him and from us to all our brothers and siters
all over the world.
This we can learn in our days on the Internet in millions
of books, especially in the Holy Books.
The more we learn and practice love, the more our world
will become a better place to live, and the more our life will
become the true image of God and His likeness.

This, indeed, is a token of His bountiful favour.”

WISHING PEOPLE TO REMEMBER YOU?

Posted on August 12, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Do you want people to remember you a few years from now?

Asked By: MidnightWizard 15 minutes ago

Good Question? (4)

Posted by pukirahe Aug 11th, 2012 at 3:33PM

We need remembrance among friends
to assist one another physically and
spiritually in the service of God
(but not at all as a historic personality).
The supreme goal for remembrance of
all human beings is the love of God. This
alone is beneficial for all souls.
We learn about the love of God, we practice it
and we try to attain His good pleasure
in this world and in the world to come.
All other great and small affairs are subordinary.
