It’s all very well. I find the discussions with all the different organizations very interesting. Everyone wants to succeed! Everyone wants to achieve something! The economy wants to flourish! The banks want to do good business! The politicians want to have great success! But all that please or Baha’u’llah’s message! We can do all this without faith, humility, and obedience to the commandments of God. We make the laws (Merkel in Germany) We command as it must!

We can do all this without believing in Baha’u’llah! We can do it. (Merkel and CO) Marriage for all is clear? Everything works wonderfully in the world! For what the Baha’u’llah? Is it superfluous? (We make it—-?????

Thank you, dear Naysan, for the interesting news. Of course, the Baha’i make great effort in faith. I do not doubt it! I only agree with Baha’u’llah message from Akka and I am always amazed!
