Administration has damaged the Faith

 For long the Free Baha’is have foretold the faithful about the dangers of deviating from the true teachings of Baha’u’llah and Abdul Baha, and how such deviations can only cause a decline in the spirituality of the faithful along with an abysmal lack of interest in it.By tutoring the faithful to stick to the Ruhi curriculum one cannot expect the faithful to maintain the spirituality which flows naturally in the divine words of the Master. This system of Administration along with its misplaced priorities has made the faithful greedy of positions and commissioning. A Baha’i today does not aspire closeness to Baha’u’llah but rather aspires to be part of the administration and to be given positions therein and to be made members of various boards here and there. All of this lack of interest has taken a huge toll on the spirituality of the Baha’is. This lack of spirituality, nay, The death of spirituality in manifested by the abysmally small number of Pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. I Would like to refer to the article published in “The Jerusalem Post” on 26 of December 2018 ,which while stating that the total number of visitors to the state of Israel was about 4 million there were only about 0.1% of them who were Baha’i which when translated to actual figures means that only about 4000 visitors to the State of  Israel were Baha’i. Also considering the fact that this year saw the convention to elect members of the “UHJ” we can safely assume that around 2000 of those 4000 visitors came for the said convention. That leaves only 2000 Pilgrims for the entire year of 2018 to have visited the Holy Shrines. This figure when compared to the global population of the Bahais shows that a disappointingly low percentage of the “Faithful” would have made the pilgrimage this year. First the faithful were turned away from the holy texts and now the administration is turning the Faithful away from the holy land too. It is sad to see the spirituality and the Faith get erased from the hearts of the faithful in such a disgraceful manner and makes one wonder:
 

WHAT REAL PURPOSE IS THE ADMINISTRATION SERVING ???

The Free Baha'i Faith in Kenya: Living Unity, Truth, and Community

The Free Baha'i Faith in Kenya stands as a powerful example of how the teachings of Baha'u'llah and Abdu'l Baha can take root in a society that values community, spirituality, and human connection. It is not defined by numbers or structures, but by the sincerity of its people and their effort to live a life based on truth, unity, and service. At its foundation, the Baha'i Faith teaches the oneness of God, the oneness of religion, and the oneness of humanity. In a country like Kenya, where many tribes, languages, and traditions exist, this message carries real weight. It is not just an idea—it becomes a necessity. The belief that all people are equal and part of one human family directly challenges divisions that have existed for generations. Baha'u'llah called on humanity to move beyond prejudice, injustice, and blind imitation. He emphasized that every individual has the responsibility to seek truth independently. This principle is critical. Faith is not me...
