I need to read more

that's my insight of the weekend. it's been a while since I've been able to take the time to read (mostly because I've been trying to work on my project), but it's time for me to pick up a bit on reading again. I decided to start with Bahá'u'lláh's Teachings on Spiritual Reality:


It is a nice compilation of writings on spirituality. I've read it through a while ago, but it's time to do it again. it deals with some very basic spiritual concepts, so it's a nice read. here's the description:

This is a compilation dealing with spiritual reality, ... Baha'i theology of the quest for spirituality, what it means to be spiritual, progress of the soul, and spiritual education. Reacquaints Baha'is with prayer and meditation, mastery of self, suffering, immortality, sacrifice, etc. Just as science is the source of understanding the laws of physical reality, true religion, based on scientific methods stripped of empty tradition and superstition, is a source of understanding of the laws of spiritual reality. Baha'u'llah explains that knowledge about spiritual reality comes to humanity through a series of divine teachers - the Founders of the great world religions. Spirituality is the process of systematically translating this knowledge into action for personal growth, the ordering of society, and the advancement of civilization.
