The Purpose of the one true God, exalted be His glory, in
revealing Himself unto men is to lay bare those gems that lie hidden within the
mine of their true and inmost selves. That the divers communions of the earth,
and the manifold systems of religious belief, should never be allowed to foster
the feelings of animosity among men, is, in this Day, of the essence of the
Faith of God and His Religion. These principles and laws, these
firmly-established and mighty systems, have proceeded from one Source, and are
the rays of one Light. That they differ one from another is to be attributed to
the varying requirements of the ages in which they were promulgated. - Baha'u'llah ('Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah'; 'The Baha’i World' 1994-1995)
