Now is the time that all of us may embrace the law of peace
and treat each other with honesty and straightforwardness. Let the religious
prejudices be wiped away. Let the law of racial supremacy be discountenanced.
Let political expediencies be done away with. Let the love of country be
superceded by the love of the world. Let us all deal with each other with
infinite kindness. We are all the servants at the one Divine Threshold. We are
all receiving the rays of truth from the same Sun of Reality. We must all
believe in all the prophets. We must all acknowledge the divine authority of
all the heavenly books. We must wash our hearts free of all human prejudices.
We must serve God. We must propagate the oneness of the realm of humanity. We
must be the cause of the appearance of the perfections in the world of man.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, November 24, 1911, Paris, France; Star of the West, vol. 2, no.
