The teachings of Bahá’u’lláh are the light of this age and
the spirit of this century. Expound each of them at every gathering. The first
is investigation of truth; The second, the oneness of mankind; The third,
universal peace; The fourth, conformity between science and divine revelation; The
fifth, abandonment of racial, religious, worldly and political prejudices,
prejudices which destroy the foundation of mankind; The sixth is righteousness
and justice; The seventh, the betterment of morals and heavenly education; The
eighth, the equality of the two sexes; The ninth, the diffusion of knowledge
and education; The tenth, economic questions, and so on and so forth. Strive that
souls may attain unto the light of guidance and hold fast unto the hem of
Bahá’u’lláh.
