Day 2867: Who has changed your life, and how? Who has changed my life? Baha'u'llah has changed my life. He changed it through the sacred scriptures He revealed. He changed it through the prayer He revealed. Before accepting Baha'u'llah I didn't understand that all religions--no matter what they call God--worship the same God. I learned that all religions are sent by one All-Glorious Unknowable Creator. Below is a list of Baha'i Teachings, from the pamphlet Baha'i Solutions, which caused me to investigate the way I thought and to question some of the things I learned as a child. "The oneness of the world of humanity" "The foundation of all religion is one" "Religion must be the cause of unity" "Harmony of Science and Religion" "Independent investigation of truth" "An international tribunal" "To eliminate all forms of prejudice" "Universal peace" "Universal education" "A universal auxiliary language" "A spiritual solution to economic problems" "Equality of men and women" |
