Consider… that in the short span of time since the advent of
Bahá’u’lláh, people of all nations, kindreds, and races have entered beneath
the shadow of this Cause. Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists,
and Persians all consort together with perfect love and fellowship, as if for a
thousand years they had belonged to the same kindred and family—indeed, as if
they were father and son, mother and daughter, sister and brother. This is one
of the meanings of the fellowship between the wolf and the lamb, the leopard
and the kid, and the lion and the calf.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Table talks in Akka,
