That Which Traineth The World is Justice – Upheld By Two Pillars Reward and Punishment

The Endless Search for Divine Knowledge: A Reflection on Baha’u’llah’s Teachings
The Endless Search for Divine Knowledge: A Reflection on Baha’u’llah’s Teachings Throughout human history, there has been an innate, transcendent longing for the divine. This longing, so intrinsic to our human nature, is a timeless phenomenon that knows no beginning or end. It’s an eternal quest to understand our Creator—a journey of spirituality that is deeply rooted in the love we hold for the divine. The Baha’i Faith, a relatively modern religion, sheds a unique light on this eternal pursuit. Its prophet and founder, Baha’u’llah, “The Glory of God” in English, offers profound insight into the ceaseless search for divine knowledge. Baha’u’llah once wrote, “I bear witness, O my God,…
