ive to unity, rather than be the cause of
enmity and hate. Should it lead to enmity and hate better not have
it at all. For religion is even as medicine, which if it should
aggravate the disease, its abandonment would be preferred.

Likewise, religious, racial, national, and political prejudice,
all are subversive of the foundation of human society, all lead to
bloodshed, all heap ruin upon mankind. So long as these remain,
the dread of war will continue. The sole remedy is universal
peace. And this is achieved only by the establishment of a supreme
Tribunal, representative of all governments and peoples. All
national and international problems should be referred to this
tribunal, and whatsoever be its decision that should be enforced.
Were a government or people to dissent, the world as a whole
should rise against it.

And among His teachings is the equality in right of men and women,
and so on with many other similar teachings that have been
revealed by His pen.

At present it has been made evident and manifest that these
principles are the very life of the world, and the embodiment of
its true spirit. And now, ye, who are the servants of mankind,
should exert yourselves, heart and soul, to free the world from
the darkness of materialism and human prejudice, that it may be
illumined with the light of the City of God.

Praise be to Him, ye are acquainted with the various schools,
institutions and principles of the world; today nothing short of
these divine teachings can assure peace and tranquillity to
mankind. But for these teachings, this darkness shall never
vanish, these chronic diseases shall never be healed; nay, they
shall grow fiercer from day to day. The Balkans will remain
restless, and it condition will aggravate. The vanquished will not
keep still, but will seize every means to kindle anew the flame of
war. Modern universal movements will do their utmost to carry out
their purpose and intentions. The Movement of the Left will
acquire great importance, and its influence will spread.

Wherefore, endeavor that with an illumined heart, a heavenly
spirit, and a divine strength, and aided by His grace, ye may
bestow God's bountiful gift upon the world ... the gift of comfort
and tranquillity for all mankind.
