Tablet Two
<1>As we can see, from a view of spiritual
understanding, there is nothing new added to what the first four
truths brought to humanity. <2>From the practical point of view or from the psychological
level to establish world unity, however,
Bahá'u'lláh gave many
progressive ideas. <3>In the beginning the way
the
Moslems treated the
people of the
Baha'i Faith
caused many reactionary ideas to be injected into this religion. Also it lost its original vigor, "Remember therefore how thou hast
received and heard,..." (Rev. 3:3).
<4>In fact, it was The Plan of
God for this to happen,
because a further evolutionary process was necessary. Still
two more steps were needed to bring the highest realization to
humanity.
<5>This imperfection is revealed in Rev. 3:2, which says, "I
have not found thy works perfect before
God."
<6>One interesting point about the
Baha'i Faith is
the way
the Moslems treated its
followers. Many of them were slain. As it was explained in the
commentary on the
Koran,
Prophet
Muhammad warned
Moslems in Surah The
Table Spread (Al-Ma'idah
),
54, that if they forget his teachings: "...in his stead,
God will bring a people
whom He loves and they would love Him,...." This indirectly means
that another Prophet would come. <7>Still the very word
Moslem means to be surrendered to the Will of
God, so if a new movement with a more progressive ideology was
revealed to humanity, a
Moslem (surrendered
one) should accept it, or at least not oppose it.
