Amazing talk! I got so much from it and intend to listen again. Also, I'd just like to mention, as a Bahai and a yoga teacher, that although there is no equivalent term for Karma in the Bahai Writings, when you understand the literal meaning of karma (which is simply Action) and the deeper, far less understood, meaning of karma (which is much deeper than simply "what goes around comes around" or "reaping what you sew" but too much to explain here) then its not exactly the case that the Bahai teachings do not have the concept of karma (as mentioned in the q & a section of his talk). And, if you consider the term Karma Yoga, which means Selfless Action, then in fact you will find it as a deep core teaching of the Bahai Faith.

I really love these videos, everything is well organized from start to finish, the selection of Writings, introductions from the hosts hosts and the topics that are covered and the brilliant lives lead by the speakers, all very enjoyable and I am learning so many new things. Thank you for producing these videos and sharing on RU-vid.
As a quick comment of review of this video, normally a person can sense the direction of which the speaker is speaking from, such as speaking from authority, knowledge, wisdom, love, enthusiasm, questioning, and all of the other thousand upon thousands of expressions of bodily rhythms, and voice tones and inflections, so when this speaker started engaging with the audience I was perplexed that I was not able to describe to myself this speakers tone, although I understood the flow and towards unity in diversity, but the current leading to the ocean was something I had never experienced before. It wasn't until very near the end that this hidden current begins to surface, be forewarned if you are an emotional person this hidden current will bring you to tears, and resolves itself into a memory of joy.
Thank you so much for sharing this awesome presentation. I listened while on my morning walk 2days ago and will listen over again. I’m so deeply touched with your stories and was moved tearfully when you recited the prayer by Abdu’l’Baha. Now I want to memorize it.💕
Excellent talk on a fundamental spiritual topic. So true that our internal tranquility does not ultimately depend on the external factors of our lives. “Fear God and nothing else.” Meditation on this one single verse can yield so many helpful insights.
😂❤ Through the Bahà'i teachings I recognized that we are One. Christians and Bahà'is recognize the One True God- and our God is the same God. Before being a Bahà'i I did not recognize Christ and did not believe in The Holy Bible- now I do. Bahàis recognize and awknowledge the Sonship of Christ and His return as The Glory of God in the days of resurrection.
