Thou hast inquired regarding the teachings and instructions
of Baha'u'llah! Thou must instruct the people of the world in the Love of God,
that they may eradicate the foundation of warfare and strife, be attracted by
the Glad-tidings of the kingdom of Abha, lay the basis of love and amity, raise
the melody of affinity, and the oneness of the Kingdom of humanity; transmute
tyranny and persecution into love and faithfulness, efface the traces of
bloodshed and carnage; construct the edifice of reconciliation, dispel the
darkness of estrangement, diffuse the light of unity; change the poison of
animosity into the honey of sympathetic affection; destroy the religious,
national and social prejudices from the individuals of humanity; live and act,
with and toward each other as though they were from one race, one country, one
religion, and one kind.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha Abbas (Star
of the West, vol. 2, no. 6, June 24, 1911)
