A simple solution to a complicated problem is a good strategy. Keep things simple, every chance you get. Save a step whenever you can. Conserve your time. Optimize your workflow. Specialization is a good idea. Get really good at one or two things and trade that knowledge and skill in our global free market.
One world unity is a good idea. The human race is all one tribe. Earth is one country and all mankind are its citizens. Ubuntu is the African word that means friendship. Be friends with every individual you interact with. And be friends with the entire human race, individually and collectively.
There is only one God, one religion of God and one human race. The United Nations is a very young civilization. All the ancient regional civilizations are growing together into one universal and divine civilization. God makes the rules. Human beings thrive when we follow the rules revealed by God. Civilization ends every time we decide to follow our own manmade rules.
Submission to God is the inner essence of every true religion. Islam means submission to God. All true religion is the one true religion. Judaism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and the Baha Faith, etc., are all the one common faith of all mankind. Submission to God is the unchanging, eternal Faith of God.
Baha’u’llah is the Manifestation of God for now. The Baha’i Faith is the one common faith of all mankind. This spiritual unity is causing the social and political unity that is arising. When Baha’u’llah was alive on earth, during the 19th century of the Christian era, the idea of one global civilization was not practical. Baha’u’llah road around on horseback. He read by candlelight.
We don’t do that any more. The world has already changed dramatically. We have elecctricity, jet planes, the Internet and the United Nations. The divine education revealed by Baha’u’llah is causing a rapid transformation of human nature and civilization, from warring factions, into one universal commonwealth.
Faith and reason are complimentary facets of human consciousness. Science and religion are complimentary facets of our search for truth. Sceince is our search for truth about natural history. Religion is our search for truth about spirituality. Eather one without the other is a half-truth. Science without religion is materialism. Religion without science is superstition. Always seek the truth.
Faith is the most important feature of human consciousness and not mentioning it during a conversation about human nature and civilization would be lying by omission. Seek God. At all times and under all circumstances, seek God. Love and obey God.
