Faith Perspective on Freedom Convoy

Freedom

There is both physical and spiritual liberty and freedom. Physical freedom without moral or legal restraints can be very destructive. Our ultimate objective should be the pursuit of spiritual liberty and freedom. It is spiritual freedom which make physical freedom possible. The liberty being discussed in these quotes refers to material liberty only without the balance of spiritual consciousness and restraints.

“Know ye that the embodiment of liberty and its symbol is the animal. That which beseemeth man is submission unto such restraints as will protect him from his own ignorance, and guard him against the harm of the mischief-maker.”

Bahá’u’lláh

“Liberty causeth man to overstep the bounds of propriety, and to infringe on the dignity of his station. It debaseth him to the level of extreme depravity and wickedness.”

Bahá’u’lláh

“The liberty that profiteth you is to be found nowhere except in complete servitude unto God, the Eternal Truth. Whoso hath tasted of its sweetness will refuse to barter it for all the dominion of earth and heaven.”

Bahá’u’lláh

Justice

Justice as the basis for unity and whose purpose is the achievement of unity. “And if thine eyes be turned towards justice, choose thou for thy neighbor that which thou choosest for thyself.”

Bahá’u’lláh

“The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes.”

Bahá’u’lláh

Truthfulness

Truthfulness is the foundation of all the virtues of mankind. Without truthfulness, progress and success in all of the worlds are impossible for a soul. When this holy attribute is established in man, all the other divine qualities will also become realized.

Loyalty to Government

In every country where any of this people reside, they must behave towards the government of that country with loyalty, honesty and truthfulness. This is that which hath been revealed at the behest of Him Who is the Ordainer, the Ancient of Days.

Falun Dafa Understaning

Falun Dafa helps people to become good people. It improves our physical bodies, minds,

and morals, but it does not involve itself with politics and has no desire for power.

Politics, and other life issues are up to us to evaluate. This is a question of discernment.
