I went to a deepening today, and we're studying a short book called the tabernacle of unity. it contains two letters in response to questions asked to Baha'u'llah by a zoroastrian, plus a couple of other tablets. the second letter is a further elaboration of the first letter (which in itself contains many important notes and passages), and one of the quotations that appeared at least three times in the first half of it was this one:
"Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements."
I think it's quite an interesting quotation, and one that suggests some very important things: for example that we should keep updated with the social, political and economical situation in the world; to know what's going on, what people need and want. it's a great challenge, but I think a very good thing to try to live by. it promotes reading, studying, discussing with people about the situation in the world, and only in that way can it be possible to learn more.
in other news, we had some tasty water melon there. absolutely delicious!
