"The principle of the Oneness of Mankind" he [Shoghi
Effendi] writes, "implies an organic change in the structure of
present-day society, a change such as the world has not yet experienced."
Referring to the "epoch-making changes that constitute the greatest
landmarks in the history of human civilization," he states that "...
they cannot but appear, when viewed in their proper perspective, except as
subsidiary adjustments precluding that transformation of unparalleled majesty
and scope which humanity is in this age bound to undergo." In a later
document he refers to the civilization to be established by Bahá'u'lláh as one
"with a fullness of life such as the world has never seen nor can as yet
conceive."
