You have chosen human interdependence for our life on earth, guide us to understand this, value this and be grateful for this and respect this. You gave us the life-support system which we need to live but we have not made use of it with responsibility and due to our own mistakes we are witnessing global warming . O God! Give us the strength to introspect and to change our ways, give us the wisdom to accept things which are a part of the creation plan. Forgive us for our wrongs and set right all matters concerning us. The situations are not in our control but our responses to situations are under our control, guide us to give the right response in every situation. Give us the high level of character which is unilateral good character. Bless our togetherness, put love in our hearts for each other. Give us the sense of empathy and sensitiveness towards others. Let there be simplicity in our lives leading towards high thinking and peaceful pursuits. Guide us all to live need-based lives and not greed-based lives. Let there be sharing of every bounty in society. Give us the strength of mind to accept and respect the differences. Make us your true worshippers and humankind’s well-wishers and live in peace and harmony with each other. Thank you God for this blessed gathering. Glory be to You through whom all good things are accomplished! FEEDBACK FROM THE PARTICIPANTS So nice to have met you today at the Bahai Centre. Thanks for the lovely book too.
