Part 2: Recreating Ourselves in the Image of the Master

Baha’i music composer Tom Price delivered six great talks at the 2012 Tennessee Baha’i School, called “Recreating Ourselves in the Image of the Master”.

For those of you who have yet to hear one of Tom’s talks, you’re in for a treat! Tom Price’s talks on The Five Year Plan are still one of our most popular posts ever and you can listen to them here: https://soundcloud.com/bahai-blog/sets/the-5-year-plan-tom-price

In these wonderful talks Tom Price shares six of Abdu’l-Baha’s attributes and looks at how we can learn from them and adopt them into our own lives.

Abdu’l-Baha, (also referred to as the Master) was Baha’u’llah’s eldest son and appointed successor, and He is considered the perfect example of how to live according to the Baha’i teachings. 

We hope you enjoy these talks as much as we do, and please let us know what you think in the comments section and feel free to share this post with your friends. You'll also find a variety of other talks, discourses and lectures here: https://soundcloud.com/bahai-blog/sets/bahai-talks

Following the Example of Abdu'l-Baha - A Talk by TomPrice

A pure heart, that's what I long for.
A heart that follows hard after Thee;
A pure heart, that's what I long for.
A heart that follows hard after Thee.

A heart that hides Your Word
So that sin will not come in.
A heart that's undivided
But one You rule and reign;
A heart that beats compassion,
That pleases You, my Lord.
A sweet aroma of worship
That rises to Your throne.

A Pure Heart - Denzil (ISGP QLD Dec 2016)

Drawing Nigh to Baha'u'llah

Drawing Nigh to Baha'u'llah (1 of 12) - A Talk by Adib Taherzadeh

This is the wonderful talk Dr. Monjazeb gave on Sunday, June 7 2020 for Foundation Hall University on Race and the Investigation of Truth.

Foundation Hall University Speaker - Arta Monjazeb (June 7, 2020)

"We are all connected" is a song which gives voice to some fo the views, youth in Manurewa expressed about unity and being one in the context of the human body. The song was made at one of the Ruhi training courses youth attended in the April school holidays.

The lyrics of this song was inspired by the following study:
Society can be likened to the human body. In fact, there is no other model that demonstrates better how society should work. In the human body, every cell, tissue and organ is connected to every other. The health of each affects the health of all. The pain of each is the pain of all. The well-being of the body depends on the well-being of each part. 

The principle that governs the functioning of the body is cooperation. Its various parts do not compete for resources; rather, each cell, from its inception, is linked to a continuous process of giving and receiving. If one member of the body is in distress, all the other members suffer also. When there is unity and reciprocity between the various parts, the whole body grows in strength. 

Acceptance of the oneness and interconnectedness of humankind requires a profound change in our thinking. Accepting the oneness of humanity demands that prejudices of all kinds - based on race, religion, nation, tribe, class, gender or education - must be totally eliminated. Prejudices are a major cause of suffering and affliction throughout the world. Any views that consider one group of people superior to another must be entirely rejected. 

Noble thoughts in themselves are not enough. They must be translated into action. Selfless service to our fellow human beings is a natural expression of acceptance of the principle of the oneness of humanity. The truth that humanity is one must be constantly taught and asserted through deeds.
