Among the teachings of Baha’u’llah are principles which
concern the readjustment of livelihood, that is to say, certain regulations are
revealed which insure the welfare and well-being of all humanity. Just as the
rich man enjoys his rest and his pleasures surrounded by luxuries, the poor man
must likewise have a home be provided with sustenance, and not be in want. In
order that all human kind may be at ease, the readjustment of the economic
situation is necessary and of the utmost importance; until this is effected,
happiness is impossible.
