Why are lies bad?

Because they cause suspicion, distrust, hatred
among people. A liar in himself does not observe
truthfulness, so he suspects other people, and when
his lies being discovered people also distrust him.
This is bad and it is very difficult to remedy.
The divine law of life is completely different.
God creates all things because of love and He
gives man intelligence to do His Will for love,
unity and peace.
When human beings learn to love selflessly and
sincerely peactice it, we will attain all good.
The Holy Spirit keeps on manifesting Himself
from Age to Age to teach man how to apply this
divine law.

THINKING ABOUT USING THE INTERNET?

Do you think you use facebook or facebook used you? (ever)

facebook, google, yahoo…. use us to make money;
we use them for higher and more various goals…
Mutual love, mutual respect, mutual benefit…
all is good as long as it serves the building
of a higher and higher civilization on earth.
It is only within a period of about five years that
I start to see the Internet as a virtual world
which lives and expands on all aspects at the
multiplied speed of life. A good thought can be sent
back and forth billions of times in a second.
Famous people on the so-called real world may
last long, famous people up here easily fall into
oblivion by the multiplication of millions of new names!
Luckily, it is still controlled by the law against monopoly.
Perhaps, there need be more laws to keep it in
normal and lasting functioning.
Who will have real power to legislate and to enforce these laws?

WHY QUITTING THE GAME OF LIFE?

Posted on October 28, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why should i quit the game of life?

Asked By: Kryptal (18-21, M) 17 minutes ago

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 27th, 2012 at 6:18PM

Firstly life is not a game.
If it is a game, then we must quit it
for more thrilling games.
Finally, no game is leading to any life purpose.
Moreover, it creates lots of fools who claim to be losers.
Life is the most sacred existence to advance purposefully.
It is not to win any award or championship as in games,
but it is to attain blissful immortality.
I am thankful to God for giving me the life of an
intelligent being like all other individuals among the human race.

Baha’u’llah says:

 “I recognize, moreover, that were any of the revelations of Thy names and Thine attributes to be withheld, though it be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, from whatsoever hath been created by Thy power and begotten by Thy might, the foundations of Thine everlasting handiwork would thereby be made incomplete, and the gems of Thy Divine wisdom would become imperfect. For the letters of negation, no matter how far they may be removed from the holy fragrances of Thy knowledge, and however forgetful they may become of the wondrous splendors of the dawning light of Thy beauty, which are shed from the heaven of Thy majesty, must needs exist in Thy realm, so that the words which affirm Thee may thereby be exalted.”

WHY WE ARE GIFTED WITH LIFE?

Good Question? (8)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 24th, 2012 at 3:42AM

Because life is the most precious
and most mysterious of all things.
Life is precious, because it growing, advancing
and reaching the highest physical and spiritual
summits all existence. See how large, how
intelligent, how intellectual is the inorganic Internet,
and we will continue to develop it in all aspect
and all directions. But it can never act against
our will.
Life is mysterious, because there are still other
properties and attributes that we don’t know.
We can never create it. And as long as we exist,
we can still make more interesting discoveries.
By His love, God creates us for us to know
and to enjoy His hidden treasuries.

 “Then our life will be revivified, we shall enjoy eternal existence, be refreshed with the breath of the Holy Spirit and become informed of the mysteries of creation. Then we shall be inspired to upraise the standard of the oneness of humanity; we shall take a portion of the divine grace and become resplendent with the rays of the heavenly luminary; then the human race will mirror forth the attributes of the eternal kingdom and will move like a peaceful sea and each individual will appear as a wave. As we look upon the sea, we will comprehend it as the sea of God; as we look upon the waves, we will realize that they are the souls of humanity. The sun is one; all light is one; the rays are one; it shines on all.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 171)

WITNESSING ANYTHING MIRACULOUS?

Seeing questions and answers here on EP?
Who are askers and who are answerers.
What miracles these people are doing and
will be doing?
These are the things that our ancestors
could not witness and could not imagine.
Considering closely all things, I see that they
are extremely miraculous. What is the tiniest
element below the atom? What is the hugest
reality over the universes.
Perhaps, each individual should seek for a point
to organize his life around it. Otherwise he may
get lost when studying the mysteries of life.

IS THERE AN ETERNAL PARADISE?

Posted on October 5, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Do you believe there is an eternal paradise?

Asked By: MichelleSuzanne (36-40, F) 1 hour ago

Good Question? (5)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 4th, 2012 at 3:38PM

Here is my answer to your 5 questions about
Heaven and Hell.
People throughout history believe that good people
go to Heaven, bad people go to Hell, although nobody
knows what, where, how are Heaven and Hell. And these
questions stick to our minds till today.
All people are created in the image and likeness of God
who are educated by His Divine Messengers,
so all are good and are living eternally in the
good pleasure of God, all are in Heaven. This
is not a place, it is a spiritual condition.
There is no Hell. People who are deprived of this
knowledge, they act against the Will of God, they
wander in the darkness of confusion, that is symbolically
understood as fire of Hell.
In sum, attaining the good pleasure of God is Heaven,
being deprived of it is Hell. We go nowhere, we are living
in that spiritual condition, according to our knowledge
and practice.

I have no car, no motorbike, no bicycle.
Now walking is really best for my health.
I feel that it is more convenient if I have
a car to visit friends or to by some necessities,
but still I don’t want to think of making money,
so I am thinking more of the goodness of walking.
I may live longer and healthier than moving around
in a car. I have more time to read and to write on my
computer. Reading and writing today can also be done
on the car, but it is not so convenient as sitting at the desk.
If I beg, I believe that God will give, but I really don’t want.

As they are free from destruction and qualified with permanence, how much more so is the human spirit free and immortal. How will that ever be destroyed? This is a subject of great importance. There are innumerable proofs in support of it. I hope we may continue it at another time.”

WHY DOES RELIGION STILL EXIST?

Posted on September 25, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why does religion still exist?

seriously, wtf. first we have the religion that believed that the earth was flat and in the middle in the universe and corruption was normal. and then we have the religion where extremists blow up buildings and other people to carry out “gods will”.
how many primitive neanderthals are there in this world? does religion help find a cure for cancer or does it help develop the technology to land on mars? what about computers you are using right now? NO
holy cow people. you are believing in a religion that originated thousands of years ago which is extremely unreliable. people were more gullible back then and needed something to believe in.
heck i can make up my own religion right now. it will be called “Papayanity”. we shall worship the “Papaya God” for i am his prophet. he has spoken to me and and gave me “The Book of Fruits”. now i need some followers.
is there something i am missing here? the population of religious people still outnumbers non-religious people and IT’S 2012. why are so many people still choosing blind faith over science?

i swear if someone answers:
“poor soul has not seen the light”
or
“burn in hell heathen”
i will go vomit out blood..

Who has the knowledge and power to tell mankind how to live?
Only the omniscient and omnipotent God can do this.
That is why religion exists despite all sorts of oppositions.
The knowledge and power of God are not given like a sword
that the king gives to his prince.
God gives them mysteriously in the sacred verses in
the Books of various religions, that man has to learn
patiently and to apply sincerely.
Buddhist, Christian, Islamic civilizations… are concrete proofs
of the celestial conquest.
The mature human race today can get more precisely the divine
lesson and to apply more efficiently with powerful gadgets.
Religion does not simply exist; it lives in men’s hearts
and empowers the hearts to transform the world into paradise.
Yes my words will fade away, but the Word of God will
eternally reign in the pure hearts of His children.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “By the word religion I do not mean the present dogmatic and theological superstitions which are in the hands of the people. By religion I mean the world of celestial attributes. After the moral aspect of humanity becomes readjusted, then the greatest unity will be realized; but without this moral readjustment it is impossible to establish harmony and concord, for it is a fact that war, conflict, friction and strife are but the visible results of deterioration of morality and corruption of character. But when the morality of humanity is beautified with praiseworthy virtues there will be an end to war.”

MARRYING A PERSON OUTSIDE YOUR RELIGION?

Will you marry a person outside your religion?

Asked By: Oasis1010 (41-45, F) 1 hour ago

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Sep 23rd, 2012 at 5:31AM

Definitely yes.
Who makes religion into unbreakable barriers
between lovers and loved ones. Religion is love
from God, it must strengthen all bonds among
human beings. How barriers be named as religion?
From time immemorial, God creates man by love and for
love, and He sends down His Messengers to divinely
educate human beings how to live wisely, happily and
progressively. When religion still reflects love, it
attracts all hearts. When it becomes barriers, it will be
abandoned. No power is more powerful than the power
of love.
Let us look for crystal teachings of the Messengers of God
instead of blindly attaching to ceremonies, superstitions
and prejudices. The Messengers of God are omnipotent and
omniscient; They always protect safely Their believers.
Questions like these may no longer exist in the next few
decades with the awakening of the human race.
They know what to learn and know how to conduct their lives
as rational beings.

Without Fear of God.
The source of wisdom, the source of happiness,
the source of all good is here.
It will lead us to victory of all other fears,
to victory over oneself, to real dignity.
It is not the fear of curse, the fear of hell,
the fear of torment.
It is the greatest joy in the good pleasure of God.
Many people today become allergic with the words
God, religion, love… for false fear of loss
of worldly pleasures, worldly persecutions,
worldly misunderstandings. I really fear for those
who fail to attain the fear of God.

“Other attributes of perfection are to fear God, to love God by loving His servants, to exercise mildness and forbearance and calm, to be sincere, amenable, clement and compassionate; to have resolution and courage, trustworthiness and energy, to strive and struggle, to be generous, loyal, without malice, to have zeal and a sense of honor, to be high-minded and magnanimous, and to have regard for the rights of others. Whoever is lacking in these excellent human qualities is defective. If We were to explain the inner meanings of each one of these attributes, “the poem would take up seventy maunds of paper.”
