*****These are strictly my views and opinions and not representative of what the Baha’i teachings suggest or imply*****

The world is little by little learning the importance of consultation in all its affairs, and one day I am sure it will be an established principle on which all activities and undertaking of affairs will be done.

Baha’u’llah’s 200th Birth and Recent Charlottesville Incident (2017)

Baha’is all over the world are about to celebrate one of the most auspicious days of their cherished Faith. October of 2017 signalizes the 200th year anniversary of the birth of the Founder of their precious Faith, Baha’u’llah. He announced, roughly 150 years ago, that the Divine-will for today is the oneness of humanity and unity of all religions, races and people. If the world’s religious leaders and kings, such as Pope Pius IX, Napoleon III and Naser al-Din Shah, had listened to Baha’u’llah’s counsels He gave in scores upon scores of letters, then bigotry, racism and utter hatred among people today would have ceased to exist.

Baha’i-Inspired Poems with Armando Troche | [Elevated & Meaningful]

This time I am with my friend Armando Troche discussing the beauty of poetry and the power of writing when one is inspired. Armando is a Baha’i who pioneered to China for a few years in 2010 till about 2014 roughly. He is a powerful and soul-stirring poet you must listen to and see for yourself.

Find Baha’u’llah’s writings that Armando read for us here:

“Every word is endowed with a spirit, therefore the speaker or expounder should carefully deliver his words at the appropriate time and place, for the impression which each word maketh is clearly evident and perceptible. The Great Being saith: One word may be likened unto fire, another unto light, and the influence which both exert is manifest in the world. Therefore an enlightened man of wisdom should primarily speak with words as mild as milk, that the children of men may be nurtured and edified thereby and may attain the ultimate goal of human existence which is the station of true understanding and nobility.”

O YE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MINDS TO KNOW AND EARS TO HEAR!
The first call of the Beloved is this: O mystic nightingale! Abide not but in the rose garden of the spirit. O messenger of the Solomon of love! Seek thou no shelter except in the Sheba of the well-beloved, and O immortal phoenix! dwell not save on the mount of faithfulness. Therein is thy habitation, if on the wings of thy soul thou soarest to the realm of the infinite and seekest to attain thy goal.
(The Hidden Words of Baha’u’llah)

Hidden Words of Baha’u’llah: The first one from the Persian section.
