O contending peoples and kindreds of the earth! Set your
faces towards unity, and let the radiance of its light shine upon you. Gather
ye together, and for the sake of God resolve to root out whatever is the source
of contention amongst you. Then will the effulgence of the world’s great
Luminary envelop the whole earth, and its inhabitants become the citizens of
one city, and the occupants of one and the same throne. This wronged One hath,
ever since the early days of His life, cherished none other desire but this,
and will continue to entertain no wish except this wish.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
