Harmony
In cycles gone by, though harmony was established,
yet, owing to the absence of means, the unity of all
mankind could not have been achieved. Continents
remained widely divided, nay even among the peoples
of one and the same continent association and
interchange of thought were wellnigh impossible.
Consequently intercourse, understanding and unity
amongst all the peoples and kindreds of the earth
were unattainable. In this day, however, means of
communication have multiplied, and the five
continents of the earth have virtually merged into
one. And for everyone it is now easy to travel to
any land, to associate and exchange views with its
peoples, and to become familiar, through
publications, with the conditions, the religious
beliefs and the thoughts of all men. In like manner
all the members of the human family, whether peoples
or governments, cities or villages, have become
increasingly interdependent. For none is
self-sufficiency any longer possible, inasmuch as
political ties unite all peoples and nations, and
the bonds of trade and industry, of agriculture and
education, are being strengthened every day. Hence
the unity of all mankind can in this day be
achieved.
-Abdu'l-Baha

The
Promise For Man
By
Robert Kogan
Robert attended a Baha’i Winter School in the
Southwest in 1964. It was his very first experience
being with a large group of Baha’is. It impressed
him enough to continue his search for religious truth.
