What are your sins?

I only confess to God Who alone can help.
I know that to err is human, it means that all humans commit all sorts of sins at all time, hence I am learning how to live with inner peace.
The lesson I get is not to bother with the sins of other people, because I cannot judge fairly, I cannot forgive or punish. I can check only my wrongdoing and making my own correction. I am also praying to God for guidance and forgiveness. I think that If each human being learns to repent before God, then the world will become better. Social institutions also work on preserving security and order, but this is only efficient with an education for self-discipline, self-control, self-repentance.
I see that the world today is better than the world in the Stone Age.

Baha’u’llah says:

 The Great Being saith: O ye children of men! The fundamental purpose animating the Faith of God and His Religion is to safeguard the interests and promote the unity of the human race, and to foster the spirit of love and fellowship amongst men. Suffer it not to become a source of dissension and discord, of hate and enmity. 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. Our hope is that the world’s religious leaders and the rulers thereof will unitedly arise for the reformation of this age and the rehabilitation of its fortunes. Let them, after meditating on its needs, take counsel together and, through anxious and full deliberation, administer to a diseased and sorely-afflicted world the remedy it requireth….

(Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, p. 214)

SIN OF DESTROYING JUST ONE PERSON?

All things are related to all things, hence good for one is good for all, and evil for one is evil for all.
Every day, we have people die in traffic accidents, in natural calamities, in unknown diseases … and mature human beings cannot ingore them as meaningless numbers among world population. Moreover, each human being is not a small creature, but he is the greater world. Hence, abortion is also an unacceptable evil.
In the past, tribes were killing tribes as survival of the fittest. Civilized people today cannot close eyes to any kind of killings. We try in many ways for the protection and preservation of life, even of vegetable and animal.
Man is endowed with intelligence, that other creatures don’t have, so he has to use it with greater and greater brilliance. This is his divine duty before God, His living and loving Creator.

Baha’u’llah says:

All men have been created to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization. The Almighty beareth Me witness: To act like the beasts of the field is unworthy of man. Those virtues that befit his dignity are forbearance, mercy, compassion and loving-kindness towards all the peoples and kindreds of the earth. Say: O friends! Drink your fill from this crystal stream that floweth through the heavenly grace of Him Who is the Lord of Names. Let others partake of its waters in My name, that the leaders of men in every land may fully recognize the purpose for which the Eternal Truth hath been revealed, and the reason for which they themselves have been created.

(Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, p. 214)

ARE YOU RELIGIOUS?

Are you religious ?

Asked By: ExtremeNext 26-30, F  2 hours ago

Yes and no here are both meaningless.
Whether I am religious or not, I am still the same person and that has no meaning to the world.
Millions of people claim to be Buddhist, Catholic, Muslim … and they don’t agree on the meaning of religion; people of this religion are hating people of other religion.
So, instead of claiming to be religious, I just claim to be human as a son of God (I know, many people don’t care whether I am son of God or son of Satan!). But I make clear to myself that I am son of God, like all other human beings, and we all are supposed to know God, to love God and to be unified as members of one heavenly family.
It is for years, I try to live and to act as by this definition. I don’t claim to be religious and I don’t convert any people to any religion.
In truth, Religion is Divine Education from God, but people have made it into rituals, traditions, walls of separation. So we better look for another word of universal definition for all.

Abdul-Baha says:

The basis of the teaching of Bahá’u’lláh is the Unity of Mankind, and his greatest desire was that love and goodwill should live in the heart of men.

As He exhorted the people to do away with strife and discord, so I wish to explain to you the principal reason of the unrest among nations. The chief cause is the misrepresentation of religion by the religious leaders and teachers. They teach their followers to believe that their own form of religion is the only one pleasing to God, and that followers of any other persuasion are condemned by the All-Loving Father and deprived of His Mercy and Grace. Hence arise among the peoples, disapproval, contempt, disputes and hatred. If these religious prejudices could be swept away, the nations would soon enjoy peace and concord.

(Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 45)
