Here are, very briefly explained, some of the principles
of Bahá’u’lláh.
In short, it behoves us all to be lovers of
truth. Let us seek her in every season and in every country, being careful
never to attach ourselves to personalities. Let us see the light wherever it shines,
and may we be enabled to recognize the light of truth no matter where
it may arise. Let us inhale the perfume of the rose from the midst
of thorns which surround it; let us drink the running water from every pure spring.
('Abdu'l-Bahá:
Paris Talks, Pages: 133 - 134)

One Bahá'í youth said he was moved by a story about how 'Abdu'l-Bahá showed great kindness to a man who chose to mistreat Him. "The story of 'Abdu'l-Bahá helped me to love the people who reject me and to show them that I truly love them," said Abdoulaye Bangoura, 19, a teacher of Bahá'í children's classes.
"If I try to be like 'Abdu'l-Bahá, who is the perfect exemplar of the Bahá'í Faith, I must accept the pain and the problems, and continue forward -- this story has given me courage...," he said.
For Mohamed Diaby, a 19-year-old Muslim, it was the story of the Bahá'í Faith's Forerunner, the Báb, that caught his attention, and he was attracted to teachings of the oneness of humanity.
"You could say we are all from the same family and worship the same God," said Mr. Diaby.
