Uniting mankind is the most
portant thing there is to do.
World unity is not an ultimate, far-off
goal.
In fact, the world has already become
virtually one country, and its problems
can only be solved by the united will of
humankind.
Over a century ago, Baha'u'Ilah, the
Founder of the Baha'i Faith, said: "The
well-being. of mankind, its peace and
security are unattainable unless and
until its unity is firmly established."
Just as the teachings of Christ, Moses,
Krishna, Buddha and Muhammad united
great numbers of people in the past,
the teachings that Baha'u'Ilah has
brought from God in this age show the
way to unity for all mankind.
