Journey of the Soul
In the Bahá'í teachings, life is viewed as an eternal journey where the soul progresses toward spiritual maturity and closeness to God. Our time in this world serves as preparation, much like the development of an embryo in the womb, nurturing spiritual qualities such as love, compassion, truthfulness, and unity. Death, rather than an ending, signifies the soul’s birth into a boundless journey toward divine illumination. Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, writes:
"Know thou assuredly that the soul, after its separation from the body, will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence of God."
​Embracing this spiritual perspective encourages us to live purposefully, recognizing every moment as an opportunity to grow closer to our Creator and to serve humanity.
