Comments on: Junior youth spiritual empowerment: Baha’i social action http://www.mollusc.org/wordpress/junior-youth-spiritual-empowerment-bahai-social-action/ "If a man thinks that a woman who can ride broncs is too much for him, he's probably right."

It also suggests the wholeness of an organic body, which is ideal. It's too easy to see each individual as a separate entity - when Baha'u'llah actually tells us that we were each created to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization. Thanks for commenting!

It shows that tiny deeds in the right direction, are what counts. When you look at a forest, if you wanted to make a new one, how to set out? Focus on the cells. Each cell needs to do its job right, then the forest comes out right. There's no other way to do it. Same with human souls, gaining divine guidance and acting on it. Souls are like cells, and as each cell gets healthy, it impacts on the health of the cells it touches. The whole world situation is the collective result of the conduct of all the cells. You've found a way of rightly directing the cells. It's the fastest way. This is a wonderful story. It shows that tiny deeds in the right direction, are what counts.
