Thanks Whine

We are all not happy about this injustice

O SON OF SPIRIT!
The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes.

We pray that the wisdom of this injustice is brought to a conclusion in the very near future.

I applaud these Baha'is and pray for those that have instigated this gross injustice

Cheers Tony

Thankyou for this video, Whine. As you know, the cause of human rights for the Baha'is of Iran is very close to my heart, so I appreciate all of your beautiful work on this and your other videos.

There is probably no single issue that unites the hearts of Baha'is everywhere more than our concern for the Baha'is in Iran and no one is more deserving of our prayers and support than they are.

If I had the skills and resources, I would make a documentary of every single martyr since 1979 and drown their tormentors through the resulting ocean of tears - INSHALLAH someone will do this someday - and soon!

Oh my God, what a beautiful sentiment, Whine, you actually made some tears start to flow from my eyes. I know how you feel. I wish that I could Rambo my way into the Iranian jails and set everyone free who has been unjustly imprisoned, but I'm just a regular nerdly guy who does what he can with his computer skills.

From a prayer of Baha'u'llah:

"But for the burning of their souls and the sighing of their hearts, they would be drowned in the midst of their tears, and but for the flood of their tears they would be burnt up by the fire of their hearts and the heat of their souls. Methinks, they are like the angels which Thou hast created of snow and of fire. Wilt Thou, despite such vehement longing, O my God, debar them from Thy presence, or drive them away, notwithstanding such fervor, from the door of Thy mercy? All hope is ready to be extinguished in the hearts of Thy chosen ones, O my God! Where are the breezes of Thy grace? They are hemmed in on all sides by their enemies; where are the ensigns of Thy triumph which Thou didst promise in Thy Tablets?

(Baha'u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha'u'llah, p. 157)

Funny that you should choose this particular quote because I received just the above sentence from it in an email yesterday followed by the words 'I'm sure you know the one I mean'.

I was completely unfamiliar with it and couldn't find it in Ocean, so I wrote back to him saying 'I'm no angel - and please send me the entire prayer!', which he did a few hours ago but didn't include the source reference - thanks to you I have that now.

God surely does work in amusingly mysterious ways! He always seems to answer my requests as long as they don't include the words 'winning lottery ticket' or 'nice eligible bachelor' - and almost immediately to boot!

You just got to love 'the broader message' in that!
