So grateful to you for sharing your wisdom, Mr Dunbar. I appreciate your insights ❣️ I am an Indigenous grandmother and Anishinabe Ojibwe ❤
Loving youtube, headphones and Baha'i talks. I listen and program my mind and heart with everything Baha'u'llah 😊
Thank you for sharing these precious, priceless talks!
Some extraordinary and deep insights. I can only listen to few minutes at a time.
Stimulating to the max, no wonder the full meaning of Bahá'u'lláh's Writings can only be explained by the next manifestation of God. Thank you Mr Dunbar
Thank you Mr Dunbar for such beautiful insights. It helped me reset my day.
A comfort in trying times.
"We are immersed in a ocean of deadly materialism". How true!
Thank you for being the gift you are to the Baha'is and the world. Certainly, you will have quite the long interview with the Prophets and Holy Ones in the next world.
I'm presently am participating in a Bible study....if l am praying Baha'i prayers and l feel that while praying with Christian people that know I'm a Baha'i..,

48:10 you are lucky. I have a letter of the UHJ telling me that the Rejaal will *soon* answer me. It was the past century, I am still waiting. Sir, ask me and I will send a copy to you. You were one of the men of the UHJ.
Jamshid, the Baha’is here are at peace and chatting lovingly, why do you continue to try to needle people? Most Baha’i videos I come to, you’re there first!
@@Ajooze are you a Persian Bahai?
@@JamshidRowshan what does that have to do with anything?
@@Ajooze are you a Bahai?
@@JamshidRowshan Yes, feel free to start needling haha
They don't believe me and hold it against me. They backbite and joined the enemy of the faith, some for money. I slipped and fought back. They blocked me from participating in the feast consultation. They are blinded by titles and past cultural glories.
Just by *not* shunning would be fine.
How interesting.... your dream ? !!!! I'm intrigued.
The enemy uses this and puts a wedge into the faith. They don't teach or assimilate.
Okay. 44:38 where the principle come from? Tell me where did Bahaullah mention "the harmony of science and religion" . I will appreciate. Thank you

@@JamshidRowshan I-L-M is not modern science? Are you sure it does not include scientific knowledge? "The meaning and significance of 'Ilm as "knowledge" or "science" are well-established in Arabic linguistic studies and Islamic scholarship. For example:
Islamic Texts: Primary Islamic texts, such as the Quran and Hadith literature, frequently reference the term 'Ilm as a virtue and a duty, which Islamic scholars have widely interpreted as encompassing both religious and worldly knowledge. The Hadith, "Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim," often cited from Sunan Ibn Majah, is a key reference that underscores the centrality of 'Ilm.
Islamic Philosophy and Thought: Numerous classical and contemporary Islamic scholars-like Al-Ghazali, Ibn Sina (Avicenna), and Al-Farabi-explore 'Ilm extensively in their writings. Their works examine its dual aspects: both revealed (religious) knowledge and rational or empirical (scientific) knowledge, which together form a holistic understanding of 'Ilm.
Linguistic Sources: Arabic dictionaries such as Lisan al-Arab by Ibn Manzur define 'Ilm as "knowledge, science, or wisdom," emphasizing its broad application. In Persian, 'Ilm similarly holds this expansive definition, referring to knowledge in both secular and religious contexts."
