Thou hast
inquired regarding the teachings and instructions of Baha'u'llah! Thou must instruct
the people of the world in the Love of God, that they may eradicate the
foundation of warfare and strife, be attracted by the Glad-tidings of the
kingdom of Abha, lay the basis of love and amity, raise the melody of affinity,
and the oneness of the Kingdom of humanity; transmute tyranny and persecution
into love and faithfulness, efface the traces of bloodshed and carnage;
construct the edifice of reconciliation, dispel the darkness of estrangement,
diffuse the light of unity; change the poison of animosity into the honey of
sympathetic affection; destroy the religious, national and social prejudices
from the individuals of humanity; live and act, with and toward each other as
though they were from one race, one country, one religion, and one kind.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Star of the West, vol. 2, no. 6, June 24, 1911)
