When a religion comes to this world it has its own life cycle, while the "lamp is lit"so  to speak and the word of the Prophet  is still elevated above the form of worship and the dogma of belief the lamp is lit and glows bright.   As the words of the Prophet are less and less important compared to thhe forms and appearance of worship the light dims. Does it ever go out entirely? I don't think so. But if the light is the object of one's desire, then one should seek the light and not wonder why this particular lamp is not as bright as one would like.   Regards,   Scott __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe, send a blank email to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, use subscribe bahai-st in the message body to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu/read/?forum=bahai-st News - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Public - http://www.escribe.com/religion/bahaist Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
