Bahai faith is an obscure religion but has strong root that still bind
people by it. The bahai faith believes in a material and spiritual
existence. Bahais are taught to be detached from the material objects of
this world. Bahais believes that in addition to the material existence of
the world, a spiritual component exist as well. The spirit is infused within
the entire creation and it is through the material and spiritual that world
exist.
Bahai faith was founded by Baha ullah, whose teaching says that we need to
include both material and spiritual, in our individual and collective life,
which is quintessential for healthy living. Our own well being is based as
the level to which we can cultivate a material knowledge of the world and a
spiritual knowledge of God’s teachings.
Bahai faith stress on humanity and say that one shouldn’t be
distressed by the sadness. Bahaullah says, “ should prosperity befall
thee, rejoice not, and should abasement come upon thee, grieve not, for both
shall pass away and be no more.
The Bahai faith acknowledges the importance of meditation and Bahais are
encouraged to meditate. It says, one should enjoy the bounties of God in the
material world while being detached from them as possessions.
The Bahai house of worship is built on the principles of oneness of God,
oneness of religion and the oneness of humanity. The Lotus Temple in Delhi
is an excellent example of Bahai faith.
