Are there two Ridvan gardens in the Baha'i Faith?
Q. I think so, but I am not sure. Is one in Baghdad (where Baha'u'llah proclaimed to the public whom He was), and the other right out side of 'Akka that Abdu'l-Baha rented for Baha'u'llah in 1877 and later purchased in 1881? Thank you!

A. Garden of Ridvan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Gardens of Ridvan (lit. garden of paradise) refers to one of two Baha'i locations: * Garden of Ridvan, Baghdad * Garden of Ridvan, Akka Although the former has more significance as a holy place, the latter is more often referred in this way due to there being no Baha'i pilgrimage in Iraq at present.

What is the best way for you to obtain and enjoy true freedom in both this world and in the world to come?
Q. This is a strong encouragement to obtain true freedom: "Paris is exceedingly dispirited and is in a state of torpor and so far it hath not burst into flames although the French nation is an active and lively one. But the world of nature hath fully stretched its pavilion over Paris and hath done away with religious sentiments. But this power of the Covenant shall heat every freezing soul, shall bestow light 103 upon everything that is dark and shall secure for the captive in the hand of nature the true freedom of the Kingdom. Arise thou at present in Paris with the power of the Kingdom, with a divine confirmation, with a genuine zeal and ardour and with a flame of the love of God.

A. Your best bet is to reject "spirituality" and other forms of supernaturalism in their entirety. And it's worth noting that the quote you provide is essentially meaningless. It's just a giant metaphor that provides no clear connection to reality (which is what good metaphors do; they connect to something else).

Do you believe that magnifying the faults of others reduces divine blessings?
Q. In the Hidden Words, Baha'u'llah wrote: "O son of being! How couldst thou forget thine own faults and busy thyself with the faults of others? Whoso doeth this is accursed of Me." (Baha'u'llah, The Arabic Hidden Words) `Abdu'l-Baha taught that "the most hateful characteristic of man is fault-finding. One must expose the praiseworthy qualities of the souls and not their evil attributes. The friends must overlook their shortcomings and faults and speak only of their virtues and not their defects."
