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.

Preparing for Bicentenary Birthday of Baha’u’llah | [Elevated & Meaningful]

In this video, I am giving a quick update for not uploading a video in like 2 weeks. I also talk about how the Baha’is in Iran and Yemen are being persecuted for their beliefs. This is wrong and needs to stop immediately. Next, I talk about Baha’u’llah’s 200-year anniversary of His birthday is approaching and how we need to find opportunities to talk to people about His sacred mission and His life. Why He came to this world in this day-in-age, what is He trying to accomplish for humanity? His long-suffering and life’s example are topics that we can all talk about and invite those receptive to His message to join us in our devotionals and gatherings to celebrate His birthday on October of 2017.

Every day, we are surrounded by people whether it be our family members, parents, co-workers or colleagues. As social beings, we cannot help but associate with each other in order to get things done, and this is what gives life so much beauty in complexity.

Why Controlling Ones’ Appetites Conduces to a Balanced Life

What about true inner-strength?

For millennia, the world’s major religious scriptures have been trying to impress on the consciousness of humanity to be detached from and transcend the physical world.

Buddha stated:

“Should one conquer just oneself one is the greatest conqueror.”

Jesus Christ stated:

“Denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.”

Baha’i Fasting | [Elevated & Meaningful]

March 4, 2017Sarv MithaqiyanElevated & MeaningfulAbdu'l-Baha, Bahá'í Community, Baha'i Fasting, Baha'i Obligatory Prayer, bahá'u'lláh, Bahai, Bahai Faith, documentary, Elevated & Meaningful, Fasting, Obligatory Prayer, Prayer, The Baha'i Fast, Unity, video, youtubeComments Off

In this video I share the significance of Baha’i the Fast and obligatory prayer. Truly, fasting and the obligatory prayer help the progress of our souls. They also assist with its transcendence from the material things of this earthly temporary existence. There are many spiritual strengths and benefits one can derive from fasting and the obligatory prayer that most likely will be better appreciated once we move onto the next world, the spiritual world.

Importance of Obligatory Prayer and Fasting
https://bahai-library.com/compilation_importance_obligatory_prayer

Fasting, said ‘Abdu’l-Bahá “is the cause of awakening man. The heart becomes tender and the spirituality of man increases. This is produced by the fact that man’s thoughts will be confined to the commemoration of God, and through this awakening and stimulation surely ideal advancements follow”.1

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, cited in Star of the West, vol. 3, p. 305
