Our dearest friends & family,
Five years has passed since our dear Amin unexpectedly left us to continue his spiritual journey into the Kingdom of God. In memory of Amin-jan we would like to share with you the Holy Words by Bahá’u’lláh regarding the purpose of life.
“Rejoice not in the things ye possess; tonight they are yours, tomorrow others will possess them. Thus warneth you He Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Informed. Say: Can ye claim that what ye own is lasting or secure? Nay! By Myself, the All-Merciful. The days of your life flee away as a breath of wind, and all your pomp and glory shall be folded up as were the pomp and glory of those gone before you. Reflect, O people! Happy the days that have been consecrated to the remembrance of God, and blessed the hours which have been spent in praise of Him Who is the All-Wise. By My life! Neither the pomp of the mighty, nor the wealth of the rich, nor even the ascendancy of the ungodly will endure. All will perish, at a word from Him. He, verily, is the All-Powerful, the All-Compelling, the Almighty. What advantage is there in the earthly things which men possess? That which shall profit them, they have utterly neglected. Erelong, they will awake from their slumber, and find themselves unable to obtain that which hath escaped them in the days of their Lord, the Almighty, the All-Praised.”
Man experiences his life as a meaningful when he lives in God’s presence not simply by encountering God in the world, but primarily by serving God in every day life, infusing every moment with the spirit of God, and by dedicating himself to ends beyond himself.
We could not even dream Amin would leave us this soon. Amin is in our heart for ever and ever.
With love to all of you,
Shidfar, Farzaneh, Laila, Ashkan, Eman and Vafa
