Too few Baha'is heed these repeated admonitions of Abdu'l-Baha aboutt
how they should treat others with courtesy and love, even other
Baha'is whose interpretations about the Faith and its leaders differ
widely in these time. Here are some of the words of Abdu'l-Baha that
the leaders of all the current Baha'i groups and their followers
should take to heart and live by..............
"O army of God! Beware lest ye harm any soul, or make any heart to
sorrow; lest ye wound any man with your words, be he known to you or a
stranger, be he friend or foe. Pray ye for all; ask ye that all be
blessed, all be forgiven. Beware, beware, lest any of you seek
vengeance, even against one who is thirsting for your blood. Beware,
beware, lest ye offend the feelings of another, even though he be an
evil-doer, and he wish you ill. Look ye not upon the creatures, turn
ye to their Creator. See ye not the never-yielding people, see but the
Lord of Hosts. Gaze ye not down upon the dust, gaze upward at the
shining sun, which hath caused every patch of darksome earth to glow
with light."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 73)
