Baha'i Faith is about feeling

 Baha’i Faith is also about feeling, although equally importance is rational analysis and understanding. However if one cannot grasp the meaning of the Words very much he can always experience the feeling of being in the ocean of the Spirit of Baha’u’llah and felt confirmed and loved.

Feeling can happen all the times and as we practice we become more and more accustomed with the requirements which are no less than concentration, relaxation, detachment, purity of heart and physical stillness.

Love must be felt and not so much about talking about. Feeling the love of God enveloping us is wonderful and this can be done at any time as long as the heart prompted.

“Thy name is my healing and remembrance of Thee is my remedy” is a happy feeling of lightness and health.

During these days when most of the times we are confined at home we can practice feeling our own body. Feel every part of the body and the energy that flows within it. Something wonderful will happen.  “One who knows himself knows God”, said Baha’u’llah.

The human body is a creation of God and every part of it has its own functions and that gives you a different feeling.

Feeling is using one’s will power to concentrate on certain part or parts of the body, we can concentrate on external existence too. Meditation coupled with prayers enhanced each other. The feeling comes from the soul.

It will be useful to turn the pandemic crisis into a victory if we could capture the opportunity to divert our attention to self-improved training of things such as this.
