Many people believe in God but what do they know about Him? How did you come to know what you know about God? How did you verify what you know about God or discovered? Was it through a dream? A Book or a personal experience or just from following tradition? How do you know what you believe...
Well then if you want to debate about it that’s fine but you’ll have to start another thread as this one is about whether unknowingly all humanity is praying to the same God or Reality without realising it. But sure if you want to discuss about Baha’u’llah then please create another thread.
I don’t know what you’re getting at but I personally think that whatever ‘higher Being or Reality’ religious people pray to, it all seems to be the same mystical experience that everyone is experiencing except outwardly they express their worship differently. Some sit, others bow, others...
Another example. Just by chance the Muslim calendar and the Baha’i calendar have their month of Fasting now so that both Muslims and Baha’is are now fasting. During the Fast both Muslims and Baha’is pray to God. So what’s the real difference? Outwardly we may express how we observe the fast...
When a Buddhist prays to a statue of Buddha and a Christian a statue of Christ aren’t they both addressing a mystical reality not the stone or concrete? What or who is it they pray to? I read that some Buddhists pray to Amitabha Buddha so that they may reach the Pure Land upon death just like...
No son was in the end sacrificed. Abraham was tested and passed the test that God came first. But although the Bible says Isaac and the Quran Ishmael it does not matter as all the seed of Abraham were blessed and were to inherit the earth spiritually and that has happened.

I agree that there is too much superstition in the name of religion but things like the human body and nature reflect signs of an unfathomable and unparalleled Intelligence.
That may very well be true and/or/in addition to the fact that all throughout recorded human history there have appeared Prophets, Messengers and Great Educators Who speak of a God and claim to bring teachings and guidance from God for our spiritual well being and development. So I think that...
Say for example I pray to God to remove my difficulties and another prays to the God Who removes difficulties say by the name Ganesha. Apart from a name I see no difference in reality only maybe in outward practice. Aren’t we all approaching the same higher Reality?
I agree that we are all connected. But I believe diversity and uniqueness are prevalent in nature and the universe reflecting only really one God.
How is the universe the same when we see uniqueness and diversity everywhere?
Consider. If all the grains of the world were compared to one...
I really love that quote from the Rig Veda. Truth is one. The wise describe it in various ways. Whenever I pray or worship I have no image in my mind of God because I know then I would be worshipping the image created by my own mind and that is not God. So when I pray I just pray but don’t...
