For me, this raises 2 first questions:
What will be the criterion to determinate which people go to what career or
office or business?
Who will determinate that and how can be that be done?
Dear Hasan,
The "criterion" in my opinion is outlined in a passage quoted earlier from the
Guardian. With my own particular emphasis on RECOGNIZED ABILITY.
In a society free of political manipulation, nepotism, racism, gender
inequality, and focused on equal opportunity for all - the recognized abilities
of the individual would be nurtured, encouraged and supported. We should be
endeavouring to do this within our Baha'i Communities now... not, later. It is
and will continue to be the "majority" who makes the ultimate determination.
Sandra
...those who can best combine the necessary qualities of unquestioned loyalty,
of selfless devotion, of a well-trained mind, of RECOGNIZED ABILITY and mature
experience...
