"Iran/Persia will one day lead the world into the right path"---- Abdul-baha
28-Dec-2010
I've been researching Persian religions for a while now, mainly bahaism and Zoroasterianism, and while doing so I came across these sayings of abdul-baha.
For 'Abdu'l-Baha, the glory of Persia is not that it might triumph over Russia, Britain, or the Turks, but rather that it might carry forward an ever-advancing civilization from which all stand to gain. It seems to me, this is a useful framework for understanding the role Persians and Persian culture has played in the development of the worldwide Baha'i community, a community whose membership a century ago was almost entirely Persian, but now has vibrant communities in nearly every region of every country on Earth. I think the experience of the worldwide Baha'i community provides a useful illustration for how to re-construct nationalist ideologies for a multipolar, increasingly interconnected world.
We must now highly resolve to arise and lay hold of all those instrumentalities that promote the peace and well-being and happiness, the knowledge, culture and industry, the dignity, value and station, of the entire human population. Thus, through the restoring waters of pure intention and unselfish effort, the earth of human potentialities will blossom with its own latent excellence and flower into praiseworthy qualities, and bear and flourish until it comes to rival that rose garden of knowledge which belonged to our forefathers. Then will the holy land of Persia become in every sense the focal center of human perfections, reflecting as if in a mirror the full panoply of world civilization.

Abbas Effendi's words
by Aryana-Vaeja on Wed Dec 29, 2010 04:30 PM PSTAre the empty words of a marauding crocodile since this so-and-so was a lying politician bar none, not to mention a British lackey. It was also propaganda. That secret of divine civilization was also a blatant rip-off by Abbas Effendi of an epistle written in the same vein by Subh-i-Azal much earlier. Furthemore everything written in that treatise was virtually repudiated by the author in a later treatise known as the Treatise on Politics (resaleh-ye siasiye).
If you are not a bahai then do not buy into any hype these people are feeding you or believe a single word they tell you. It is all lies from start to finish and these people are liars bar none!

These Haifan Baha'is
by nadeem khan on Wed Dec 29, 2010 10:10 AM PSTare not the real Baha'is. They do not believe in the teachings of Mr. Baha'u'llah, Mr. Abbas Effendi or Mr. Shoghi Effendi exactly. They interprete the so called holy writings as per their interests. Dear Parthianshot91, please do read the materials of other sects like BUPC Orthox Baha'is and Uniterian Baha'is. They have better ideas to offer then these Haifans.
Can you believe that nine ordinary persons when elected democratically and after forming a body becomes 'infallible'? Many Baha'is also call this body of Nine Male Members as the manifestation of God for today. Can you believe this?
Aryanna
by Parthianshot91 on Wed Dec 29, 2010 08:47 AM PSTI'm not bahai, but I live in V.A and lots of Iranians I know here are. They told me about this, I searched it and read about Persia's/Iran's future according to the bahai's and abdul-baha.

"They are not afraid of the ideology alone, but of the detemination and will of the men behind it"
Wonderful sentiment
by Aryana-Vaeja on Wed Dec 29, 2010 03:22 AM PSTBut coming from Abbas Effendi that is like Zahhaak reciting the Avesta.
What is amazing here how you Haifan Bahais will use every underhanded method to try introduce your ideology through the back door.
