Humanity’s crying need will not be met by a struggle among
competing ambitions or by protest against one or another of the countless
wrongs afflicting a desperate age. It calls, rather, for a fundamental change
of consciousness, for a wholehearted embrace of Bahá’u’lláh’s teaching that the
time has come when each human being on earth must learn to accept
responsibility for the welfare of the entire human family. - The Universal House
of Justice (From a message dated 24 May 2001 to the Believers Gathered for the
Events Marking the Completion of the Projects on Mount Carmel; compilation:
