When a thought of war comes, oppose it by a stronger thought of peace. A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love. Thoughts of war bring destruction to all harmony, well-being, restfulness and content.<br /><br /> (Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 29)<br /><br />George McNeishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18039968727739118477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339620996395590389.post-88957008313355253332013-07-03T11:38:43.207-07:002013-07-03T11:38:43.207-07:00Namaste to all who have landed here.

The problem is that if I think I am righteous is that not being self righteous.<br /> <br />9:11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?<br />9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.<br />9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.<br /> (New Testament, 01 - Matthew)<br /> <br />Yes I strive to be righteous and that will likely be the subject of another post on my blog. But I do not wish to be considered righteous or want to think that I am righteous. Too much evil has been done by those who considered themselves righteous.<br /> <br />There is much in all scripture regarding righteousness and it is something that we all should strive for. We were created to Know God, and how do we know the unknowable. Yet knowing God is a process we are involved in, not an absolute station where we can say we know all there is to be known about God and there is nothing else to know.<br /> <br />Likewise I see righteousness as a path we follow. No matter how righteous we believe we are we can always become more righteous. When we think we have it we become dangerous. That is why those who believed themselves to be absolutely righteous crucified Jesus.<br /> <br />Admittedly the wording of my post was for shock value. It was designed to catch interest and get dialog started. The comments in your email would have been great to put as a comment on the post. I appreciate your thoughts and comments.<br /><br />George McNeishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18039968727739118477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339620996395590389.post-59100587049505078252012-12-21T13:01:58.326-08:002012-12-21T13:01:58.326-08:00George,
Interesting blog. However, I suspect that ...George,<br />Interesting blog. However, I suspect that you have missed out on what it means to be ‘righteous’. Righteousness refers to doing “that which is right” in the sight of God. As I read your blog I come to the opinion that you are confusing being “religious” with being ‘righteous’. At the end of the day a righteous person will never even contemplate, much less carry out, an evil act. Somewhere in the Bible, I am too lazy to look it up, the prophet writes; “I have never seen a righteous man nor his seed begging bread”.<br /> <br />Here follow a few quotes from Bahá’u’lláh and the Master:<br /> <br />1. Be pure, O people of God, be pure; be righteous, be righteous<br />Baha'u'llah : Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah<br /> <br />2. Let God be your fear, O people, and be ye of them that tread the path of righteousness.<br />Say: Should your conduct, O people, contradict your professions, how think ye, then, to be able to distinguish yourselves from them who, though professing their faith in the Lord their God, have, as soon as He came unto them in the cloud of holiness,<br />Page 276<br />Baha'u'llah : Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah<br /> <br />3. The second pathway is that of religion, the road of the divine Kingdom. It involves the acquisition of praiseworthy attributes, heavenly illumination and righteous actions in the world of humanity. This pathway is conducive to the progress and uplift of the world. It is the source of human <br /> <br />Abdu'l-Bahá : Bahá'í World Faith <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6339620996395590389.post-9028075247955431802012-11-18T15:26:26.681-08:002012-11-18T15:26:26.681-08:00Dear George,

thanks for sharing your reflections. ...hey George. <br />thanks for sharing your reflections. I think i would have opened the jar as well after first being apprehensive about it.<br />i think that true development happens through action and interaction with people. but i also feel that some development takes time and its OK to not see change for a long period of time because things may be changing for the better without us being conscious of it. <br />anywho, <br /><br />i will see you on sunday! <br /><br />karim.
