En savoir plus sur le livre

Baha'u'llah emphasizes the importance of translating written teachings into reality and action, urging individuals to embody the Word of God both personally and collectively. To live as a Baha'i means to reflect these teachings in one's life and society. He asserts that the purpose of every Revelation is to transform humanity's character, impacting both inner lives and external conditions. Without this transformation, the significance of God's Manifestations would be diminished. When a new Revelation emerges, it disrupts the existing social order, uniting those who recognize its truth and forming a new community. Within this community, a consciousness must develop that can interpret and implement the new teachings, aiming to create a better world. The challenge lies in shifting from a materialistic focus to one grounded in spiritual principles and service. It involves overcoming division and fostering critical thought in a collaborative pursuit of truth. This exploration delves into how Baha'is strive to comprehend the Word of God as revealed by Baha'u'llah and how they act upon this understanding to fulfill His purpose, contributing to the advancement of civilization.
