From the beginning of time the light of unity hath shed its
divine radiance upon the world, and the greatest means for the promotion of
that unity is for the peoples of the world to understand one another’s writing
and speech. In former Epistles We have enjoined upon the Trustees of the House
of Justice either to choose one language from among those now existing or to
adopt a new one, and in like manner to select a common script, both of which
should be taught in all the schools of the world. Thus will the earth be
regarded as one country and one home.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah
revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
