Early mathematicians like Pythagoras were fascinated with the mystery of numbers and believed that they were the basis of the world, revering them with an almost mystical significance. As we have learned more about the world, the truths of this idea has become more prominent- the world is based on mathematical principles.  In thisTea House session, Vahid Houston Ranjbar presented on how the nature of the world can best be understood, not as material objects, but the relations between things, relations that are themselves eternal. We then discussed some of the implications of this idea in light of the Baha'i teachings. No firm conclusions were drawn, but an enlightening discussion was shared by all. The video has been uploaded to youtube at this link and the audio is below and on the sifterofdust podcast.  Enjoy!
