The friends and
maid-servants of the Merciful must render service to the oneness of the human
world and show love and affinity to all the children of men. They must deal
with the utmost devotion, good-will, love and kindness with all the
communities, religions and sects. Their aim and their work must be that the
tree of their existence produce good fruits -- and no fruit is greater than
love and kindness toward all humanity.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, Star of the West, vol. 1, no. 17, January
19, 1911)
