O people the earth! Make not the religion of God a cause of
variance among you. Verily of a truth, it was revealed for the uniting of the
whole world. Blessed is he who loves the world simply for the sake of the Face
of his Generous Lord. With perfect compassion and mercy have we aided and
directed the people of the world to that whereby their souls shall be profited.
I declare by the Sun of Truth which hath shown forth from the highest
Horizon of the world that the people of Baha had not and have not any aim
save the prosperity and reformation of the world and the purifying of the
nations.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Star of the West', vol. 6, no. 1, March 21, 1915)
