A society of Unity is formed, that is good—but meetings and
discussions are not enough. In Egypt these meetings take place but there is
only talk and no result. These meetings here in London are good, the knowledge
and the intention are good, but how can there be a result without action? Today
the force for Unity is the Holy Spirit of Bahá’u’lláh. He manifested this
spirit of Unity. Bahá’u’lláh brings East and West together. Go back, search
history, you will not find a precedent for this.
