Living a Coherent Life - 28 October 2020

Listen to a summary of the Meaningful Conversation we had on Wednesday 28th October 2020. Our conversation this week was about: Living a Coherent Life - It’s quite natural to think about our personal spiritual growth and development in terms of improving our own life, but how does that relate to the real world around us? What if our own personal growth is closely connected to the growth and progress of others? What if selflessness is of the greatest means of self-development? And what if turning our gaze towards focusing on the progress of others and of our communities not only helps make the world a better place but also helps us grow? How important must it be therefore for our words and deeds, our thoughts and actions, to be coherent? “We cannot segregate the human heart from the environment outside us and say that once one of these is reformed everything will be improved. Man is organic with the world. His inner life moulds the environment and is itself also deeply affected by it. The one acts upon the other and every abiding change in the life of man is the result of these mutual reactions.” Baha’i Writings In these free online events we discuss the spiritual perspective offered by the Bahá’i teachings on important themes. We aim to create an opportunity for the community to talk about the things that matter most to us all, with the intention of promoting unity and fostering a spirit of love and fellowship.
