WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF LIFE?

What is the purpose of life? Why do you exist?

Asked By: digduhG (22-25) 32 minutes ago

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Nov 11th, 2012 at 3:12AM

The purpose of my life is to live as
a human being created in the image
and likeness of God.
I do not exist like other crearures, but
I live with spiritual development eternally
in the worlds of God.
I think that this is not my exclusive destiny, but
it is universally ordained by God for all mankind.
All these simple things can be found in the Holy Books
which are freely accessible on the Internet for all individuals.
I believe that in this Age of human maturity, with the
popularity of the Internet, the majority of the human race
will be divinely educated to reflect the beauty of the love of God.

Baha’u’llah says:

 “Thou art He Who from everlasting was, through the potency of His might, supreme over all things, and, through the operation of His will, was able to ordain all things. Nothing whatsoever, whether in Thy heaven or on Thy earth, can frustrate Thy purpose. Have mercy, then, upon me, O my Lord,  5  through Thy gracious providence and generosity, and incline mine ear to the sweet melodies of the birds that warble their praise of Thee, amidst the branches of the tree of Thy oneness.

Thou art the Great Giver, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate.”

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

Are you hungry?

Asked By: Chayley (16-17, F) 36 minutes ago

Good Question? (4)

Posted by pukirahe Nov 7th, 2012 at 3:39PM

I am more and more hungry spiritually.
I want to get knowledge about many things,
but the more I learn, the more new realities
require recognition. I don’t know what is
Higgs boson, what is string universes, what is
the virtual world, the real world, the life after life…
I am answering questions up here for more
learning, for example, to know more about
the thinking of human beings on the same word.
Hunger? What exactly is hunger? What is physical
food? What is spiritual food? Who can provide
food for the satisfaction of each individual and
of all human beings?…
Now I am more hungry than a moment ago.

Thou, alone, verily, hast through Thy knowledge reckoned them.”

ONE BOOK EVERYONE SHOULD READ?

What’s the one book you think everyone should be required to read?

Posted by pukirahe Nov 3rd, 2012 at 4:45PM

The Hidden Words of Baha’u’llah.
It is a Holy Book revealed by the most recent
Messenger of God, the Promised One of
all Religions.
In this Book, Baha’u’llah condenses the teachings
of the Prophets of former Ages. The learning
and practicing the verses of this Book alone will make our
world a complete new world.
Moreover, this essential Book will shed light on all
Holy Books of the past. Because, the main concepts
about God, Prophet, Man, Soul, Virtue, Revelation,
Creation, Salvation… are clearly, briefly, profoundly
redefined and interpreted.
After reading the first time, most readers will want
to bring it along for daily rereading and meditation.
This and other Holy Books are now available free
on the Internet.

BEING HAPPY IS OUR OWN CHOICE?

Yes. being happy is our choice.
When we know what is happiness,
we can choose thoughts, words and deeds
that lead to it.
Blind faith and blind action cannot lead to happiness.
Briefly, happiness is self-realization,
based on learning and practice.

COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH YOUR LIFE?

Posted on October 9, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Have you ever felt completely satisfied with your life?

Asked By: artisticmuse (41-45, F) 13 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Oct 8th, 2012 at 4:50PM

I am content, but not completely satisfied.
Content because I know that God’s creation is good;
not satisfied because I am not perfect; I must keep
on learning to make progress.
Life is not an addition of moments or events, but
it is an eternal process to come closer and closer
to the One True God.
This process composes the ups and downs, failures and
successes, gains and losses… that cause the development
of spiritual qualities besowed by God to each individual.
Therefore, each person has her/his own ways to live
and will be judged only by God.

EASIEST WAY TO DIE?

Posted on September 23, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

What is the easiest way to die?

Asked By: Taylor188 (16-17, F) 1 hour ago

Good Question? (5)

Posted by pukirahe Sep 22nd, 2012 at 5:01PM

Death is so easy that most people are dying.
When Christ says: “Let the dead bury their dead”;
He describes this world with people who cease
breathing and people who are still breathing. They all die.
Living is much harder, therefore we must learn how to live.
Breathing is not living, it is only existing.
Living is attaining knowledge of how to reflect the names
and attributes of God. Otherwise, we are already dead,
there is no need to ask for any easier way!

Abdul-Baha says:

 “The earth has its inhabitants, the water and the air contain many living beings and all the elements have their nature spirits, then how is it possible to conceive that these stupendous stellar bodies are not inhabited? Verily, they are peopled, but let it be known that the dwellers accord with the elements of their respective spheres. These living beings do not have states of consciousness like unto those who live on the surface of this globe: the power of adaptation and environment moulds their bodies and states of consciousness, just as our bodies and minds are suited to our planet….

May God, the exalted, illumine thy sight and insight!

PEOPLE HAVING LOTS OF QUESTIONS?

Posted on September 9, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why do people have lots of questions?

Asked By: essytel 1 hour ago

Best Answer by pukirahe (Chosen By Asker):

Sep 9th, 2012 at 4:57AM

Because they are intelligent living beings.
Nothing comes from nothing for nothing,
so we always wonder about the origins and
meanings of existing things.
And because humans can only attain relative truth,
we can never sleep on old aswers – but new doubts
and new amazements keep on bothering our mind.
From where comes man, for what purpose and what
else afterwards? From mokeys to return to dust and
reincarnation? From God an back to God and how far
is His Abode and then what people do over there?
If we cease to ask questions, would we be happy to exist
merely as birds or monkeys? From whom and where
can we get most satisfactory answers, and would we be
happy truly afterwards?
I think that the way of human beings must be like this:
thinking, questioning, pleasing, then questioning again
and again until our last breath. If we cease questioning
that may mean we die prematurely. Hence, EPQ&A may
live forever if the Internet also exists eternally!

Abdul-Baha says:

 

“Behold how in a few years, although exiled and imprisoned, He enunciated His purpose. Two kings were planning His death and still His power grew stronger day unto day! In the darkness of the dungeons He shone like a star! The more His followers were killed, the more the number grew; for each man killed, a hundred men arose. No one entered His presence without becoming awe-stricken by His might. The learned men who approached Him were astounded at His knowledge, yet He never attended school nor learned of men. His friends and His family all testify to this, yet His teachings are the soul of this age.”

WOULD YOU JOIN THE REVOLUTION?

Posted on September 3, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Would you join the revolution?

Asked By: Wanderartist 1 hour ago

Posted by pukirahe Sep 3rd, 2012 at 6:36AM

We need urgently a revolution for our world.
It is already too heavy, too stressful, too miserable
for leaders as well as followers.
Among humorous people, they say that we
better place everything on “bó tay.com”
(that is ‘tied hands Website’)!
But not a revolution that shed blood,
a revolution that produces more refugees,
a revolution that enthrones new kings!
We need a spiritual revolution in all
matters of human life.
Let us dethrone idols of vain imaginings
and restore the Supreme image of God,
the Creator of all worlds.
Let each individual sees with his own eyes,
thinks with his own mind and reshapes his life
with his own hands with the divine guidance
revealed in the Holy Books.
The longer we delay in promoting and launching
this revolution in our own life, the more we will regret.
I think that no human organizations can reshape the
world, but it is reshaped by our redoing our life
with profound spirituality.

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.
