The Baha'i view of human nature has a profound impact on the way children think about themselves and relate to others. It teaches them to respect every human being. Is it possible to view people as God's masterpieces, and yet fail to respect them? Our awareness of our divine essence affects every aspect of our lives, but is best demonstrated in the way we relate to others. In the light of that knowledge, people become precious to us. We consider it a supreme honor to be in the presence of beings whom God describes as "the essence of My light." Like a beam of light, our attitude toward others always reflects back to us and helps us appreciate God's immortal gifts and His presence in our own souls. (2:10) References: |
