Strive with heart and soul in order to bring about union and
harmony among the white and the black and prove thereby the unity of the Bahá’í
world wherein distinction of colour findeth no place, but where hearts only are
considered. Praise be to God, the hearts of the friends are united and linked
together, whether they be from the east or the west, from north or from south,
whether they be German, French, Japanese, American, and whether they pertain to
the white, the black, the red, the yellow or the brown race. Variations of
colour, of land and of race are of no importance in the Bahá’í Faith; on the
contrary, Bahá’í unity overcometh them all and doeth away with all these
fancies and imaginations.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
