I remember fearing my love of philosophy and contemplative thought was what the Writings cautioned against when They spoke of watching out for knowledge that "began with words, and ended with words". Now that we're more familiar with the type of thought engaged in by Muslim fundmentalists, and realizing that was Baha'u'llah's melieu, I think He was warning about something much different. And of course, if we use such thought as fertilizer, our tree will bear the most beautiful fruit.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745911694802819903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623813728792653822.post-84448245489364689152008-02-05T23:44:00.000+00:002008-02-05T23:44:00.000+00:00A beautiful quote and it rings so true.~JDA beautiful quote and it rings so true.<BR/>~JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7623813728792653822.post-33255583431605472272008-02-05T13:53:00.000+00:002008-02-05T13:53:00.000+00:00What always amazes me is that the Baha'i writings ...What always amazes me is that the Baha'i writings touch on every wonderment there is in this life.
