Dear Editor,
I would like to thank the beautiful Bahai'is for inviting me to their Vernal Equinox New Year celebration, In my view, observing spring time as a symbol of spiritual renewal is a living Cosmic reality. Vibration, color, sound and energy formulate the foundation upon which form and consciousness are manifested. Observing Mother Earth and her power to give and absorb life is a glory to behold. Fire, air, earth and water, what glorious designs projected by the Eternal Creator.
The great Prophet and Founder of the Bahai'i Faith, Baha'u'llah spoke thusly: "Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the Maker, the Creator. Its manifestations are diversified by varying causes, and in this diversity there are signs for men of discernment. Nature is God's Will and is its expression in and through the contingent world. It is a dispensation of Providence ordained by the Ordainer, the All-Wise." Mother Earth is our physical home for sure. We should harmonize with nature's laws and keep our home and planet in perfect order.
The Baha'is keep a focus on the big Cosmic picture; peace on earth and good will toward mankind. They integrate all events as moving toward this marvelous fulfillment. Baha'u'llah spoke thusly relating to peace on earth: "Blessed and happy is he that ariseth to promote the best interests of the peoples and kindreds of the earth. It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens."
It seems to me if we humans can attain a peaceful existence on this planet, this would be the greatest spring time celebration in the universe! I am sure the Great Mother Earth would be so pleased. The eternal spirit of life and spring is unfolding within each one, a spiritual springtime right before our very eyes. It is my belief the Kingdom of Heaven is within.
Our beautiful hamlet is filled to overflowing with Beautiful Temples and Spiritual Centers. They all have open doors to any one in quest of light, love and spiritual enlightenment.
Joy and love to all the beautiful Christians during this joyous Easter season. Peace on earth and goodwill to every soul dancing upon the wheel of destiny as we spin on down through the corridors of time.
The flame of love in the Heart doth Glow.
Brother Asaiah
