Sobre o sentido da vida
Baha'u'llah taught that knowing and loving God is the basic purpose of human existence. If there were no Creator -- if humans simply were chance products of a thermodynamic system, as many in the world today assert -- there would be no purpose in life. Each human being would represent the temporary material existence of a conscious animal trying to move through his or her brief life with as much pleasure and as little pain and suffering as possible. It is only in relation to the Creator, and the purpose the Creator has fixed for His creatures, that human existence has any meaning. Baha'is believe life should be seen as an eternal process of joyous spiritual discovery and growth. After physical death, the individual continues to grow and develop in the spiritual world, and thus grow closer to God.
