Are we too dependent on computers?

Yes, it is like dependence on the pen in previous centuries.
The difference is that, in the past, not many people can afford to use the pen for learning to gain knowledge. Most people depend on the plough for daily food. Since, the majority depend on the plough, that dependence was considered as normal.
Nowadays, more and more people have to do all things on the Internet. And this will be considered as normal, when the majority of people work on it. No nations today can reject the use of computers; hence all functionaries must follow, then all schools, all other fields of activities must also follow. International dependence now becomes a must of our age.
I have become an outdated citizen in this Day. It is the Day of my children and grandchildren who work more efficiently on computers as netizens or world citizens.

Shoghi Effendi says:

 A world federal system, ruling the whole earth and exercising unchallengeable authority over its unimaginably vast resources, blending and embodying the ideals of both the East and the West, liberated from the curse of war and its miseries, and bent on the exploitation of all the available sources of energy on the surface of the planet, a system in which Force is made the servant of Justice, whose life is sustained by its universal recognition of one God and by its allegiance to one common Revelation — such is the goal towards which humanity, impelled by the unifying forces of life, is moving.

“One of the great events,” affirms ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, “which is to occur in the Day of the manifestation of that incomparable Branch is the hoisting of the Standard of God among all nations. By this is meant that all nations and kindreds will be gathered together under the shadow of this Divine Banner, which is no other than the Lordly Branch itself, and will become a single nation.

(Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Baha’u’llah, p. 204)

WHAT IS GOD DOING RIGHT NOW?

What is God doing right now?

Very good question.
God’s Pre-existence is beyond time and space.
God’s Will is not expressed in being good, sayinging and doing good like His creatures.
God’s Ruling of all worlds known and unknown cannot be understood by man’s minds. He says “Be” and “it is”, and there is no other intelligence besides Him to withness this unfathomable creation.
For each one among us, He is the closest Guide and Refuge. Some people understand this; others are still confused. We need more learning to know the purpose of our life, and how He leads us to it through all sorts of calamities. If each man can write one book about Him, then six billion books may disclose some aspects of truth.
Some people are near to God; others are still quite far. And His love for all of us never fails.

Baha’u’llah says:

 To every discerning and illumined heart it is evident that God, the unknowable Essence, the divine Being, is immensely exalted beyond every human attribute, such as corporeal existence, ascent and descent, egress and regress. Far be it from His glory that human tongue should adequately recount His praise, or that human heart comprehend His fathomless mystery. He is and hath ever been veiled in the ancient eternity of His Essence, and will remain in His Reality everlastingly hidden from the sight of men. “No vision taketh in Him, but He taketh in all vision; He is the Subtile, the All-Perceiving.”[1] [1 Qur’án 6:103.]

(Baha’u’llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 97)

God allows mankind

Asking all sorts of questions

WHAT KIND OF DAY IS TODAY?

What kind of day is today?

Greater than yesterday.
More knowledge, more experience, more maturity …
New agreements, new codes of laws, new branches of learnings … signed, applied, implemented in each enterprise and among various countries.
Even new island appears in Japan.
No men can conceive, no books can record, no websites can introduce all the new appearances development, advancement … in all human activities – and much less is the galaxies.
The more we improve our own physical and spiritual powers, the more we will enjoy the offerings of the universes and the bestowals of God.
Man is not an old monkey to wait for boring death in the jungle.
Each individual is carrying forwards an ever advancing civilization to all eternity.
Yes, tomorrow will also be much greater.

The Universal House Of Justice says:

 “….because of the opportunity which it provides for conveying messages from the national and international levels of the administration and also for communicating the recommendations of the friends to those levels, the (Nineteen Day) Feast becomes a link that connects the local community in a dynamic relationship with the entire structure of the Administrative Order. But considered in its local sphere alone there is much to thrill and amaze the heart. Here it links the individual to the collective processes by which a society is built or restored. Here, for instance, the Feast is an arena of democracy at the very root of society, where the Local Spiritual Assembly and the members of the community meet on common ground, where individuals are free to offer their gifts of thought, whether as new ideas or constructive criticism, to the building processes of an advancing civilization. Thus it can be seen that aside from its spiritual significance, this common institution of the people combines an array of elemental social disciplines which educate its participants in the essentials of responsible citizenship.”

 Abdul-Baha says:

 Happy are those who spend their days in gaining knowledge, in discovering the secrets of nature, and in penetrating the subtleties of pure truth! Woe to those who are contented with ignorance, whose hearts are gladdened by thoughtless imitation, who have fallen into the lowest depths of ignorance and foolishness, and who have wasted their lives!

(Abdu’l-Baha, Some Answered Questions, p. 137)

HAIKU

Days gaining knowledge

Bring us greatest happiness

In purposeful life
