It seems that this is an universal law for human beings.
All creatures remain the same through ages, while human beings evolve in all aspects.
One concrete aspect is about living in larger and larger congregations. We evolve into family unity, tribal unity, city unity, national unity, and now gradually to world unity. On virtual world as well as on earth, we are launching larger and larger global projects.
Perhaps, schools should teach the coming generation about this completely new level of unity. In this, our life is completely revolutionalized. It would be hard for people who don’t learn new subjects to conduct the life of world citizens.
We have clear excellent means for betterment and we need new minds to use them more usefully and more efficiently.
We are happy to see that our children will have better life than us. Or precisely, next generation of man will live in Paradise.

Shoghi Effendi says:

 Unification of the whole of mankind is the hall-mark of the stage which human society is now approaching. Unity of family, of tribe, of city-state, and nation have been successively attempted and fully established. World unity is the goal towards which a harassed humanity is striving. Nation-building has come to an end. The anarchy inherent in state sovereignty is moving towards a climax. A world, growing to maturity, must abandon this fetish, recognize the oneness and wholeness of human relationships, and establish once for all the machinery that can best incarnate this fundamental principle of its life.

“A new life,” Bahá’u’lláh proclaims, “is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth; and yet none hath discovered its cause, or perceived its motive.” “O ye children of men,” He thus addresses His generation, “the fundamental purpose animating the Faith of God and His Religion is to safeguard the interests and promote the unity of the human race… This is the straight path, the fixed and immovable foundation. Whatsoever is raised on this foundation, the changes and chances of the world can never impair its strength, nor will the revolution of countless centuries undermine its structure.” “The well-being of mankind,” He declares, “its peace and security are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established.”

(Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Baha’u’llah, p. 202)

HAIKU

 Tomorrow better

World unity and world peace

Paradise on earth

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

What are you doing now?

I am living happily, perhaps happier than yesterday.
I have found a new link to good music.
I have answered an intelligent question about God.
I enjoy the delay of Haiyan typhoon, which was announced to enter Vietnam today!
Now is just a few hours in the morning, it may take pages for me to tell what I am enjoying later today in my elderly age. I am really thankful to God for all these abundant blessings, which are promised for all human beings.
I learn that work is worship, and I really don’t know why many people don’t know what to do in their days of youth, of vigor, of strength.
Perhaps, schools should teach all pupils about the meaning, purpose and happiness of work, either for pay or for charity (such as free tutoring to poor children, free care for the helpless elders, free planting of trees for our environment…)
Wishing you always be busy and happy.

 Abdul-Baha says:

 Thanks be to God, this meeting has a divine meaning. 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)

 

HAIKU

 I’m enjoying life

Thankfulness and happiness

IS GOD TRULY OMNIPRESENT?

Posted on November 10, 2013 by joyfulwayfarer

God is Everywhere. There is no room in God for Satan. True?

Asked By: PureGoodSoul 26-30, M  2 hours ago

Posted by Me Nov 9th, 2013 at 9:14PM

Very intelligent question.
There is no place for satan in God as well as in all the worlds of God.
God is not only everywhere, but He is always with us. Christ also says truly that He is always with us. Baha’u’llah and other Prophets of God affirm the same truth. Hence, we must be illumined and happy; but why most of us suffer as we are harrassed by satan?!
If we enter the divine education of God, then we have His answers. Our problem is that we ask questions about God, without learning His explanations.
The presence of God is not the presence of physical bodies like our parents. His presence is invisibly spiritual. His presence is like love. When our heart is full of His love, then there will be no place in our heart for hatred.
God does not create darkness, but darkness is only is an empty word we use to state about the absence of light. We can send light to other planets, but nobody can send darkness because it is non-existent.
When God says something, He always makes clear explanations to human beings. And He gives us rational sense for this learning.

Abdul-Baha says:

 The divine grace, whether physical or spiritual, is unlimited, yet certain selfish souls desire to circumscribe to their own ideas the outpouring of this heavenly grace. Oh, the ignorant ones! They have declared that the age of this world, for example, is ten thousand years. By this is meant that the descent of the heavenly bestowals has extended only over that period, while in realty it is omnipresent. We cannot state reasonably that this world is ten thousand or one hundred thousand or one hundred million year old, for the divine rays have ever descended upon man.

The world of creation has had no beginning and will have no end, because it is the arena upon which the attributes and qualities of the spirit are manifested. Can we limit God and His power? In the same manner we cannot limit His creations and attributes. Just as the reality of divinity is limitless, likewise His grace and bounties are limitless.

(Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 169)

 HAIKU

 Who can send darkness

To planets as sending light?

Darkness exists not
