The day is coming when all the religions of the world will
unite, for in principle they are one already. There is no need for division,
seeing that it is only the outward forms that separate them. Among the sons of
men some souls are suffering through ignorance, let us hasten to teach them; others
are like children needing care and education until they are grown, and some are
sick - to these we must carry Divine healing.
Whether ignorant, childish or sick, they must be loved and
helped, and not disliked because of their imperfection.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a
talk; ‘Paris Talks: Addresses given by 'Abdu'l-Bahá in Paris in 1911-1912’)
