Would the Baha'i faith be good for me?

[George-ananda]

So George where/when were you a Baha'i?

An LSA in a city in my state during a couple college years about 36 years ago. I was for a time on the 9-member committee. I went door-to-door, worked booths at fairs, donated money, attended firesides, 19-day feasts, etc.. I went from atheist to Baha'i very quickly. I studied with a Baha'i that had like encyclopedic knowledge of the faith. I will still say Baha'i is better than most religions out there.

 

[r2d2009]

Bahá'ís proclaim the unity of religions, but everyone goes there with his method of spiritual development.
They have no technique.

True we don't have specific meditation techniques but we don't claim one technique is better than another ... People are free to practice whatever style of meditation works for them.

Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the religion, never specified any particular form of meditation, and thus each person is free to choose their own form.[73] However, he specifically did state that Bahá'ís should read a passage of the Bahá'í writings twice a day, once in the morning, and once in the evening, and meditate on it. He also encouraged people to reflect on one's actions and worth at the end of each day.[74] During the Nineteen Day Fast, a period of the year during which Bahá'ís adhere to a sunrise-to-sunset fast, they meditate and pray to reinvigorate their spiritual forces.[77]

Yes.
But the spiritual path, which offers to go God, contains certain principles.
This basic principle - cardiac love.
We see a lot of different techniques, created in compliance with this principle.
But on the whole of humanity has not yet come to understand this fact.

Reciting Allahu Abha 95 times when sitting was always a mantra meditation for me. So I can say that Bahaullah has revealed a meditation technique, a very powerful one.

I dont know why most Bahais dont see it.
