In all the world of creation all the existent beings are in
the utmost connection. Through this connection, mutual helpfulness and
cooperation is realized. This mutual helpfulness and cooperation is the origin
of the conservation of the forces of life. If for one instant this mutual
helpfulness and cooperation were cut off from the sources and realities of
things, all the existent beings and things would be thrown into confusion and
chaos, and be reduced to nothingness and annihilation.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a
Tablet, Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 9, 1914)
