the brotherhood of man

"Let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path."

~'Abdu'l-Baha', Paris talks, p.16



"Be in perfect unity. Never become angry with one another. … Humanity is not perfect. There are imperfections in every human being, and you will always become unhappy if you look toward the people themselves. But if you look toward God, you will love them and be kind to them, for the world of God is the world of perfection and complete mercy. Therefore, do not look at the shortcomings of anybody; see with the sight of forgiveness. The imperfect eye beholds imperfections. … You must love and be kind to everybody, care for the poor, protect the weak, heal the sick, teach and educate the ignorant."

~ Abdu’l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 92
