O CHILDREN OF MEN!
Know ye not why We created
you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the
other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We
have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to
be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth
and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds
and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be
made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light! Heed ye
this counsel that ye may obtain the fruit of holiness from the tree of
wondrous glory.
(Bahá'u'lláh:
Arabic Hidden Words, Page: 68)
