…the purpose of Bahá’u’lláh’s Revelation is to bring about a
civilization that is neither of the East nor of the West, a civilization based
on coherence between the material and the spiritual needs of humankind.
…recognizing Him marks the commencement of a commitment to dedicate one’s
personal and family life to contributing to the establishment of that
civilization. …the fulfilment of this goal is facilitated through the
activities and the maturation of the three protagonists in the advancement of
civilization: the individual, the community, and the institutions.
