There can be no doubt whatever that the peoples of the
world, of whatever race or religion, derive their inspiration from one heavenly
Source, and are the subjects of one God. The difference between the ordinances
under which they abide should be attributed to the varying requirements and
exigencies of the age in which they were revealed. All of them, except a few
which are the outcome of human perversity, were ordained of God, and are a
reflection of His Will and Purpose. Arise and, armed with the power of faith,
shatter to pieces the gods of your vain imaginings, the sowers of dissension
amongst you. Cleave unto that which draweth you together and uniteth you. This,
verily, is the most exalted Word which the Mother Book hath sent down and revealed
unto you. To this beareth witness the Tongue of Grandeur from His habitation of
glory.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
