Welcome. Within this blog I pour forth my thoughts in attempts to understand what the Bahá'í Faith truly is.
For those of you who are not familiar with the Bahá'í Faith, it is a world religion whose main tenet is the unification of all the people in one universal Cause and one common Faith. Its founder, Bahá'u'lláh wrote, "That which the Lord hath ordained as the sovereign remedy and mightiest instrument for the healing of the world is the union of all its peoples in one universal Cause, one common Faith."
We do not believe God is a physical entity laying in the clouds, but rather an unknown Creator. He may be likened unto the carpenter who builds a table. The table cannot understand its creator, much like how we as humans cannot understand our Creator, God. We come to understand God through His Manifestations, which include, among others, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Krishna and most recently the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. These divine teachers may be likened unto mirrors who reflect the attributes of the sun or, in this case, God.
Further posts will look through themes laden within the Sacred Texts. Perhaps we can together gleam through the Bahá'í Writings and gain a deaper understanding of our own spirituality.
This blog is for everyone and anyone. Please feel free to comment.
