It is always
important to remember that with the coming of Bahá’u’lláh the human race as a
whole was summoned to recognition of its oneness, and this has launched it on a
wholly new stage in its spiritual and social evolution. He has stated clearly
that His message and the glorious prospects envisaged belong to every people on
the planet. “The summons and the message”, He wrote, “which We gave were never
intended to reach or to benefit one land or one people only. Mankind in its
entirety must firmly adhere to whatsoever hath been revealed and vouchsafed
unto it. Then and only then will it attain unto true liberty.”
