You, the representatives of all Nations, are sitting in a building made of shinny glasses to reflect the light of unity on all Nations for the betterment of the world. Your job is to send the heat of unity of ‘your' hearts , decisions , to all over the world without depending and/or fearing any country's power and/or their material means. So you become mercury behind all these huge glasses to turn them into one single ‘mirror' which was/is appointed to turn its face toward the Sun of Justice and Compassion reflecting Its light on all Nations equally.
So the City of New York was/is blessed by having ‘you' in its bosom but a huge responsibly comes with this an amazing gift from God, which is an act of Justice as to bring all Four Nations, Red, Black, Yellow and White into one Account only, an Account which has been built upon the humankind's spirit and has no color.
Enclosed you will find the Writing from Abdu'l-Baha , the Son of Baha'u'llah the Founder of Baha'i Faith, which is guiding us to the light of Justice showing us how to mediate upon the matters, which are causing problems, individually and/or world- wide. These instructions take us to the unknown and/or spiritual world.
So I have decided to share His guidance with ‘you' all, hoping that through this way of meditation the right solutions would come to your hearts.
And since these solutions are from your hearts so they will get into the hearts of the problems of the world and as a result we will have a Unity of Heart and our world, planet, would be safe from Shaking for the Third times and a new Civilization may build upon this Earth and we and our future generation may live on heavenly planet!!
The followings are the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha about how to meditate upon matters and/or problems:
Abdu'l-Baha writes:
"About one thousand years ago a society was formed in Persia called the Society of the Friends, who gathered together for silent communion with the Almighty.
They divided Divine philosophy into two parts: one kind is that which the knowledge can be acquired through lectures and study in schools and colleges. The second kind of philosophy was that of the Illuminati, or followers of the inner light. The schools of this philosophy were held in silence, Meditating, and turning their faces to the Source of Light, from that central Light the mysteries of the Kingdom were reflected in the hearts of these people. All the Divine problems were solved by this power of illumination.
This Society of Friends increased greatly in Persia , and up to the present time their societies exist. Many books and epistles were written by their leaders. When they assemble in their meeting-house they sit silently and contemplate; their leader opens with a certain proposition, and says to the assembly ‘You must meditate on this problem'. Then, freeing their minds from everything else, they sit and reflect, and before long the answer is revealed to them. Many abstruse divine questions are solved by this illumination.
Some of the great questions unfolding from the rays of the Sun of Reality upon the mind of man are: the problem of the reality of the spirit of man: of the birth of the spirit; of its birth from this world into the world of God; the question of the inner life of the spirit and of its fate after its ascension from the body. They also meditate upon the scientific questions of the day, and these are likewise solved. These people, who are called ‘Followers of the inner light', attain to superlative degree of power, and are entirely freed from blind dogmas and imitations. Men rely on the statements of these people: by themselves –within themselves-they solve all mysteries. If they find a solution with the assistance of the inner light, they accept it, and afterwards they declare it: otherwise they would consider it a matter of blind imitation. They go so far as to reflect upon the essential nature of the Divinity, of the Divine Revelation, of the manifestation of the Deity in this world. All the divine and scientific questions are solved by them through the power of the spirit.
Baha'u'llah says there is a sign (from God) in every phenomenon: the sign of the intellect is contemplation and the sign of contemplation is silence, because it is impossible for a man to do two things at one time- he cannot both speak and meditate.
It is an axiomatic fact that while you meditate you are speaking with your own spirit. In that state of mind you put certain questions to your spirit and the spirit answers: the light breaks forth and the reality is revealed. You cannot apply the name ‘man' to any being void of this faculty of meditation; without it he would be a mere animal, lower than the beasts. Through the faculty of meditation man attains to eternal life; through it he receives the breath of the Holy Spirit- the bestowal of the Spirit is given in reflection and meditation. The spirit of man is itself informed and strengthened during meditation; through it affairs of which man knew nothing are unfolded before his view. Through it he receives Divine inspiration, through it he receives heavenly food.
Meditation is the key of opening the doors of mysteries. In that state man abstracts himself: in that state man withdraws himself from all outside objects; in that subjective mood he is immersed in the ocean of spiritual life and can unfold the secrets of things-in-themselves. To illustrate this, think of man as endowed with two kinds of sight; when the power of insight is being used the outward power of vision does not see. This faculty of meditation frees man from the animal nature, discerns the reality of things, puts man in touch with God.
This faculty brings forth from the invisible plane the sciences and arts. Through the meditative faculty inventions are made possible, colossal undertakings are carried out; through it governments can run smoothly. Through this faculty man enters into the very Kingdom of God .
Nevertheless some thoughts are useless to man; they are like waves moving in the sea without result. But if the faculty of meditation is bathed in the inner light and characterized with divine attributes, the results will be confirmed.
The meditative faculty is akin to the mirror; if you put it before earthy objects it will reflect them. Therefore if the spirit of man is contemplating earthly subjects he will be informed of these.
But if you turn the mirror of your spirits heaven-wards, the heavenly constellations and the rays of the Sun of Reality will be reflected in your hearts, and the virtues of the Kingdom will be obtained.
Therefore let us keep this faculty rightly directed –turning it to the heavenly Sun and not to earthly objects- so that we may discover the secrets of the Kingdom, and comprehend the allegories of the Bible and mysteries of the spirit. May we indeed become mirrors reflecting the heavenly realities, and may we become so pure as to reflect the stars of heaven."
