The Bahai faith is quite unfamiliar to me. If anyone could enlighten me why I should follow this stream of thought I will be truly grateful.
I am not sure exactly what you are asking so I will respond with what I think you are asking and if that is not what you are asking let me know.
From a Baha’i perspective, the reason to be a Baha’i is because Baha’u’llah, the Prophet Founder of the Baha’i Faith, is the “latest” Messenger from God, and He brought a message and teachings and laws that will enable you to know your true self.
“From the foregoing passages and allusions it hath been made indubitably clear that in the kingdoms of earth and heaven there must needs be manifested a Being, an Essence Who shall act as a Manifestation and Vehicle for the transmission of the grace of the Divinity Itself, the Sovereign Lord of all. Through the Teachings of this Day Star of Truth every man will advance and develop until he attaineth the station at which he can manifest all the potential forces with which his inmost true self hath been endowed. It is for this very purpose that in every age and dispensation the Prophets of God and His chosen Ones have appeared amongst men, and have evinced such power as is born of God and such might as only the Eternal can reveal.” Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, pp. 67-68
Baha’u’llah also brought teachings and laws that will enable you to approach God in the afterlife, after you die and your soul ascends to the spiritual world.
“The Prophets and Messengers of God have been sent down for the sole purpose of guiding mankind to the straight Path of Truth. The purpose underlying Their revelation hath been to educate all men, that they may, at the hour of death, ascend, in the utmost purity and sanctity and with absolute detachment, to the throne of the Most High.” Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, pp. 156-157
Those are the reasons “I think” that an individual would want to be a Baha’i. Additionally, from a Baha’i perspective the message of Baha’u’llah,
the unity of mankind, is a message that the world needs in order to achieve world unity, peace and concord, because the teachings and laws of Baha’u’llah would regenerate humanity if people followed them.
Baha’u’llah wrote that all the religions will unite under one banner in the future because that is what God has ordained, but that is probably a long way off because most people already have a religion they are attached to and do not want to relinquish.
I know that is a lot of information to assimilate, but I never know when I will have the time to get back to this forum and post, so I decided to cover the most important reasons “I think” people might want to be a Baha’i. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Of course, nobody would
ever want to become a Baha’i unless they thoroughly investigated Baha’u’llah,
His life, His mission and His scriptures, and determined for themselves that they believe He was who He claimed to be.
