When the Lord Christ came He spread the light of the Holy
Spirit on all around Him, and His disciples and all who received His
illumination became enlightened, spiritual beings.
It was to manifest this light that Bahá’u’lláh was born, and
came into the world. He taught Eternal Truth to men, and shed the rays of
Divine Light in all lands.
Alas! behold how man disregards this Light. He still goes on
his way of darkness, and disunity, and quarrels and fierce war are still rife.
He uses material progress to gratify his lust for war, and
he makes destructive implements and appliances to destroy his brother man.
