At the moment one thing I know for sure is my sometimes most irritating quality to deal with is pecking at my brain again.... CURIOSITY is alive and kicking...
I've spent this evening reading external opinions and descriptions on Baha'i faith..but my favourite passage is an internal view...
just to share something small which I'd realised am inspired by, I feel serene as I read this extract.. it is a small summary of the teachings of the Baha'i faith according to Shoghi Effendi..
"The independent search after truth, unfettered by superstition or tradition; the oneness of the entire human race, the pivotal principle and fundamental doctrine of the Faith; the basic unity of all religions; the condemnation of all forms of prejudice, whether religious, racial, class or national; the harmony which must exist between religion and science; the equality of men and women, the two wings on which the bird of humankind is able to soar; the introduction of compulsory education; the adoption of a universal auxiliary language; the abolition of the extremes of wealth and poverty; the institution of a world tribunal for the adjudication of disputes between nations; the exaltation of work, performed in the spirit of service, to the rank of worship; the glorification of justice as the ruling principle in human society, and of religion as a bulwark for the protection of all peoples and nations; and the establishment of a permanent and universal peace as the supreme goal of all mankind—these stand out as the essential elements [which Bahá'u'lláh proclaimed].["
