Молитвы бахаи

Selected prayers, open Baha'u'llah, the Bab and Abdu'l-Bahá

For many it is difficult to believe in prayer action, because they believe that the fulfillment of the prayer is against the laws of nature. The following example can eliminate this difficulty. If you hold the magnet over iron filings, the last climb and pristanut to it, but it does not violate the law of gravity. The law of gravity continues to act on the filings just as before. There was just something that was another higher power, the effect of which is as natural as the force of gravity, and like her amenable to calculation.

According to Baha'i prayer leads. in effect the highest, is still relatively little known force: but there is no reason to believe that these forces are more arbitrary in their action than the physical. The difference is that they are not yet fully explored and investigated through experience, and their actions seem mysterious and incalculable because of our ignorance.

Other difficulties that trouble some, consists in the fact that prayer seems too weak a force to cause great results, often attributed to her. An example may serve to clarify this difficulty.

A small force applied to the body of water gateways, may release and regulate an enormous flow of water and the force applied to the steering parts of the ocean liner, controls the course of the huge vessel.

According to Baha'is, the force that answers prayers have inexhaustible divine power. Of Creative prayer should only exert a weak force to cause the flow of divine grace, always ready to descend on those who have learned how to apply it.

"Prayer - a ladder, by which every one can attain heaven" (Mohammed).

"Prayer - says' Abdu'l-Bahá, - have a conversation with God To the people came to be known will and desire of God, He has to talk to them a language they understand, and this He does through the mouth of his holy prophets long as prophets dwell among the people... . They talk with them face to face and convey a message of God, but after the death of their doctrine continues to reach people through the recorded sayings and writings.

But this is not the only way that God can speak to people. There are still spirit of the language, which is independent from the speech and writing, and through which God can communicate and inspire those whose hearts seek the truth, no matter who they were, and no matter what race or language they belong. Through this language the prophet continues to converse with the faithful, and even after his departure from the material world. Christ continues to speak and inspire His disciples after His crucifixion.

In fact, his influence on them was then more powerful than before. The same thing happened with the other prophets. 'Abdu'l-Bahá often mentions this spiritual language:

For example, he says:

"We must speak the language of heaven - the language of the spirit - for there is a language of the soul and hearts It is different from our language as our language is different from the animals, expressed only cry and sounds..

The language that speaks to God, there is a language of the Spirit. When, in prayer, we are freed from all worldly things and turn to God, then we seem to hear in our hearts to His voice. Without words we speak, open, talk with God and hear the answer ... All those of us who achieve true spiritual condition, can hear the voice of God. "

Bahá'u'lláh declares that the higher spiritual truths can be communicated only to this spiritual language. What has been said or written word is quite insufficient. In a small book "Seven Valleys," in which he describes a journey from the earthly dwelling to the palaces of God, He talks about the latest ways:

"Language is not able to describe them, and too insufficient explanation pen is powerless in the possession, and the inks give only one result:. Black ... One only the heart can notify another heart able to know: it can not be transferred either through a messenger, nor letters expressed. "

In the book of John. E. Esslemont "Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era"
