What is the purpose of our creation? To know God our Creator , and to worship
Him.
If
we know Him, the purpose of our lives is fulfilled. The purpose of a lamp
is to give light. The purpose of a flute is to give out melodious notes.
We must know God
if the purpose of our
lives
has to be fulfilled. If we do not know Him, we are like until lamps, silent
flutes.

Baha'u'llah
the great Manifestation
of God for this age, reveals a prayer,
saying:
.
" I bear witness, O my God, that Thou
hast created me to know Thee and to
worship Thee. I testify, at this moment , to my powerlessness
and to Thy
might, to my poverty and to Thy wealth. "
.
" There
is none other God but Thee, the help in peril , the Self Subsisting. "
.
Baha'u'llah
has asked us to recite this prayer at noon every day lest we forget
why we have been created. Let us be melodious flute, vibrant
with the praise of God. Let us not be silent
flute!
