BAHAI CAUSE
IS EXPLAINED
IN LECTURE
The address given last evening at
the Eagles’ lodge room on the Bahai
cause brought out the specific teach
ings on the oneness of humanity and
the oneness of religion.
As there is but one Creator, the crea
tures are one creation, from one
source. The difference is not kind
but in quality, and should be so re
garded. Nationality is an illusion,
Ifian-made, not God-created.
For the peace and unity of the world
man must come into the conscious
ness of this oneness. Abdul Baha
says:
‘‘The happiness of the world is dp
pendent upon the solidarity of man
kind. The material and spiritual prog
ress rest upon this universal friendli
ness between human individuals.”
That man may learn the reality,
the truth, know his relationship to his
Creator and to mankind, there is need
of the great spiritual centers, the
Manifestations of God, the Suns of
Reality, for through their teachings,
the power of their words, the minds
and souls of humanity are awakened,
illumined.
The spiritual centers of light, such
* as Abraham, Moses, Confucius, Bud
dha. Zoroaster, Jesus, are such by the
power of the One Holy Spirit. It is
the same spirit speaking to man, giv
ing the teachings, the spiritual truths,
according to the requirements of the
people at that time.
Religion is the essential connection
between reality, truth and the souls
of mankind; the means of expressing
the reality of the inner kingdom of
spirit.
These religious teachers have come
in the past when mankind had fallen
into the quagmire of materiality and
selfishness, and it is logical to con
elude they will always come to lead
man back to the realization of his!
spiritual birthright.
Today the reality of religion must
be searched out.
Through the teachings of Baha’-1
o’llah, the power of the spirit speak
ing through him today, the minds and
souls of humanity are awakened to
new life, to a comprehension of the
oneness of mankind, to its "ideal vir
tues,” and this is evidenced by the
unity brought about between all re
ligions and all nationalities.
ft is again the springtime of spir
ituality. This is the day of universal
ideals, of universal relationships.
Baha’o'-llah says:
“Cdnsort with all people with love
and fragrance. Fellowship is the
cause of unity and unity is the source
of order in the world. Blessed are
they who are kind and serve with
love.”
