To one who spoke of the people’s desire to possess the land, and of the strong under-current of rebellion on the part of the labouring classes, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá said:
“ Fighting, and the employment of force, even for the right cause, will not bring about good results. The oppressed who have right on their side, must not take that right by force; the evil would continue. Hearts must be changed. The rich must wish to give! Life in man should be like a flame, warming all with whom it comes into contact. The spiritually awakened are like to bright torches in the sight of God, they give light and comfort to their fellows.”
When asked if he did not find the manners of the English rude and awkward, compared with those of the East, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá said he had not felt this. As a nation increases in spirituality, the the manners become different.

You can not fix everything by just talking about peace...
ReplyDeleteone of big flaws of bahaiat is to mistaken cease fire as truce and/or peace.
should you not ericate. evil, it will grow to even bigger and nastier one.
bending over is not solution either. you need to be practical and adoptable.
You do things your way, we do it our way.
DeleteHere is another question for you, what ARE YOU DOING about it?
How do you propose one can change people's heart?

honesty and sense of justice is best policy
If am correct and know who you are, please, remind me how you got shafted?
ReplyDelete"honesty and sense of justice is best policy", can not disagree with you there. Just clarify "whose sense of justice"?
I am sure you know what is happening in Iran to minorities.
I hope it is not IRI sense of justice.
