People don't get along because they fear each other. People fear each other because they don't know each other. They don't know each other because they have not properly communicated with each other. Martin Luther King (2:7) In a global language lies enormous powers: (2:8) And the Lord said, behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible to them. Genesis 11:6 (2:9) We are, in essence, spiritual beings. Our souls depend on spiritual nourishment as much as our bodies on physical. Whether it is the cell or the soul, starvation eventually leads to death. Spirituality is the salt of the soul; without it, the soul spoils. It must be sprinkled on everyone, every day. A 5-year-old boy was watching his mother change the baby. When she overlooked sprinkling the tot's backside with talcum powder, the 5-year-old reminded her, 'Hey, Mom, you forgot to salt him!' (2:10) From the very beginning, the children must receive divine education and must continually be reminded to remember their God. Let the love of God pervade their inmost being, commingled with their mother's milk.15 'Abdu'l-Baha (2:11) References: |
