Day 2944: “It's the questions we can't answer that teach us the most. They teach us how to think. If you give a man an answer, all he gains is a little fact. But give him a question and he'll look for his own answers.” ― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear Let this quote inspire you blog entry.

Answerer of Our Questions

God is the answerer
of all prayers and all questions:
each age, aeon, epoch, and dispensation
has it own needs
and its own questions.

The needs and questions of present age
are not those of earlier aeons
nor are they those
that will be asked later epochs.

The answers for each era
come through one of God's Holy Manifestations:
Christ answered the questions asked in His time,
Muhammad answered the questions of His era,
and Baha'u'llah answers the questions of today.

"Longing hands are uplifted to the heaven of Thy grace and generosity: Where are the rains of Thy bestowal, O Answerer of the worlds?"

Baha'u'llah12
