What’s in store

Words as mild as milk?

… an enlightened man of wisdom should primarily speak with words as mild as milk, that the children of men may be nurtured and edified thereby and may attain the ultimate goal of human existence which is the station of true understanding and nobility.

(Bahá’u’lláh, Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 172)

Such is the guidance. I will go with the “primarily” clause here, and claim an exception.
Posts for the foreseeable future will NOT be as mild as milk to some. If this applies to you, please do not be put off. Remember to check elsewhere for more appropriate answers.

See with your own eyes
Every person has their own world view which is built through life experience and their environment – mine includes a lot of assumptions regarding God, reality, religion, social etiquette, priorities in life, etc that are not shared by many. If you contact me, I will try and get you up to speed on the background behind what I have quoted or said. Either way, please investigate further for yourself to ascertain the truth of the matter.

O SON OF SPIRIT!
The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes.

(Bahá’u’lláh, The Hidden Words)
