ivine Religions is one, because the Reality
is one and cannot be two. All the prophets are united in their message,
and unshaken. They are like the sun; in different seasons they ascend from
different rising points on the horizon. Therefore every ancient prophet
gave the glad tidings of the future, and every future has accepted the
past.

Sixthly: Equality and Brotherhood must be established among all members of
mankind. This is according to Justice. The general rights of mankind must
be guarded and preserved.

All men must be treated equally. This is inherent in the very nature of
humanity.

Seventhly: The arrangements of the circumstances of the people must be
such that poverty shall disappear, and that every one as far as possible,
according to his position and rank, shall be comfortable. Whilst the
nobles and others in high rank are in easy circumstances, the poor also
should be able to get their daily food and not be brought to the
extremities of hunger.

Eighthly: Baha'u'llah declared the coming of the Most Great Peace. All the
nations and peoples will come under the shadow of the Tent of the Great
Peace and Harmony--that is to say, by general election a Great Board of
Arbitration shall be established, to settle all differences and quarrels
between the Powers; so that disputes shall not end in war.

Ninthly: Baha'u'llah taught that hearts must receive the Bounty of the
Holy Spirit, so that Spiritual civilization may be established. For
material civilization is not adequate for the needs of mankind and cannot
be the cause of its happiness. Material civilization is like the body and
spiritual civilization is like the soul. Body without soul cannot live.

This is a short summary of the Teachings of Baha'u'llah. To establish this
Baha'u'llah underwent great difficulties and hardships. He was in constant
confinement and He suffered great persecution. But in the fortress (Akka)
He reared a spiritual palace and from the darkness of His prison He sent
out a great light to the world.

It is the ardent desire of the Baha'is to put these teachings into common
practice: and they will strive with soul and heart to give up their lives
for this purpose, until the heavenly light brightens the whole world of
humanity.

and hope that this deep consciousness of mine is acceptable to you.
