Overview

Pause & Reflect is a series that presents meditative passages from the writings of the Bah� ' � Faith arranged around particular themes. The theme of this volume is change. Change can be difficult and even scary. It often involves stepping outside our comfort zone or sacrificing the familiar for something new. But if we wish to grow and move forward in our individual lives and if we wish to address the myriad problems facing our world today, change is necessary. The sections of this book reflect the Bah� ' � perspective that three interconnected protagonists collaborate in this process: the individual, the institutions, and the community. The institutions mentioned here refer to Bah� ' � institutions tasked with facilitating the growth and well-being of the community. However, whether one is familiar with these institutions or not, the principles and ideas presented in this section can apply to any collective endeavor aimed at social transformation. It is hoped that the passages collected here offer some inspiration and some helpful concepts for those wishing to make changes in their lives and in the world around them.

Author Information

"Baha'u'llah (1817- 1892), meaning in Arabic "" the Glory of God,"" is the Prophet and Founder of the Baha'i Faith. The main theme of Baha'u'llah's message is unity. He taught that there is only one God, that all the world's religions represent one changeless and eternal Faith of God, and that all humanity is one race destined to live in peace and harmony. `Abdu'l-Baha (1844-1921), meaning in Arabic ""Servant of the Glory,"" was the title assumed by Abbas Effendi, the eldest son and appointed successor of Baha'u'llah. He dedicated His life to service to those in need and sharing the Baha'i teachings with people around the world. Shoghi Effendi Rabbani (1897- 1957) was appointed the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith after the passing of Abdu'l-Baha in 1921. He was the head of the worldwide Baha'i community from 1921 until his passing in 1957. He was the authorized interpreter of the Baha'i writings."
