This New World Order, whose promise is enshrined in the
Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh, whose fundamental principles have been enunciated in
the writings of the Center of His Covenant, involves no less than the complete
unification of the entire human race. This unification should conform to such
principles as would directly harmonize with the spirit that animates, and the
laws that govern the operation of, the institutions that already constitute the
structural basis of the Administrative Order of His Faith.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated March 11, 1936; included in ‘The World Order of
Baha’u’llah’)
