It is always important to remember that with the coming of
Bahá’u’lláh the human race as a whole was summoned to recognition of its
oneness, and this has launched it on a wholly new stage in its spiritual and
social evolution. He has stated clearly that His message and the glorious
prospects envisaged belong to every people on the planet. “The summons and the message”,
He wrote, “which We gave were never intended to reach or to benefit one land or
one people only. Mankind in its entirety must firmly adhere to whatsoever hath
been revealed and vouchsafed unto it. Then and only then will it attain unto
true liberty.”
