O friends! In this day the door of heaven is opened by the
key of the godly Name, the ocean of' generosity is manifested and is rolling,
before your faces, and the Sun of Providence is shining, and gleaming. Do not
be exclusive nor destroy your most precious time through the speech of this or
that person. Gird up the loins of endeavor and do your best in training, the
people of the world. Do not imagine that the Cause of God is a cause of
opposition, hatred or wrath. The Sun of Greatness hath said, that which is
revealed from the heaven of will in this Supreme Manifestation, is to unite the
people with love and friendship toward all. The people of' Baha, who have drunk
of the pure wine of reality, must associate with all the world with a perfect
spirit of joy and fragrance, and remind them of that which is for the benefit
of' all. This is the Commandment of the Wronged One to his saints and sincere
ones.
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 and 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)
