The basis of the teaching of Baha’u’llah is as follows: Bear
in your heart great love to all races on earth, to the end that unity may be
established between them. Take an interest in everyone and find out how you can
help them, so that all may see that your love is truly universal. Do the will
of God, do not only speak about it; the elect of God do this. People do much
speaking to advance their own glory and to make themselves appear superior to
their neighbors. But if you do the will of God and do not blazon it abroad,
then you will change the whole world. They who do most speak least.
