Awake, O people of the world, awake! Give heed, O peoples
and nations, give heed! Destroy the root of conflict and strife; abandon
imitations and prejudices which lead to cruelty, so that you may acknowledge
the Truth and the light of the oneness of humanity may shine brilliant and
manifest as the sun; the standard of universal peace be hoisted; perfect love
and harmony may reign among the races, religions and nations; and the world of
man may find peace and acquire a divine image and likeness. This is my message.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
