The Baha’i worldview is too weak and in lack of proving thought that is in lack of production power and presenting suitable ideology for its followers. Consequently, its leaders try to direct the followers who possess more intellectual power and to use modern sciences in today world and the present era in order to proceed their intellectual and rational covers. Nobody remembers the debate(s) between Baha’i people and critics since the establishment of this Zionistic organization but this organization even confront against the critics via negation and boycott. So, the programs of this organization to make ideology as an important aim are as follows:
A) Educating scientific cadre and developing humane resources:
One of the important aims of Shoghi Effendi [1] in the project of developing human resources is educating efficient humane resources for making discourse and building Baha’i ideology not merely a plan to search for science and to discover reality.
B) Scientific humane resources having influential capabilities:
Shoghi writes in a letter dated July 5, 1949 AD.:” We need Baha’i scholars who have figured out the faith teachings deeply. We need people who have studied well, too in order to be able to relate our teachings with community leaders’ current thought.
C) Focusing on choosing elites and technocratism [2]:
Shoghi continues the previous letter to say: “The Baha’is are responsible to arm their minds with science in order to be able to present the realities entered into the Baha’i faith particularly into the educated castes.”
D) Preaching religious moderateness, indulgence and
Laxity:
Preaching moderateness atmosphere with people in the Baha’i community and strengthening the main core of faith of the faithful are of the important aims of the Baha’i studies project.
The universal house of justice writes about the requirement for moderateness dated July 8, 1979:
“The universal house of justice agrees to consider it really important for the faithful particularly those who are responsible for the administrative discipline to react against different views being tranquil, curious and lenient and also they should remember that all Baha’is are just creed pupils who are always trying to figure out the teachings clearer and to apply them more loyally and nobody is able to claim for having complete understanding of inspiration.”
Thus, preaching indulgence atmosphere requires the people in charge of administrative positions not to react very much and for those who state their understandings of teachings not to make differences deliberately or accidentally.
