"The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Baha'u'llah..."

"The unity of the human race, as envisaged by Baha'u'llah, implies that establishment of a world commonwealth in which all nations, races, creeds and classes are closely and permanently united...It does not ignore, nor does it attempt to suppress, the diversity of ethical origins, of climate, of history, of language and traditions, of thought and habit, that differentiate the peoples and nations of the world. It calls for a wider loyalty, for a larger aspiration than any that has animated the human race. "

-Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Baha'u'llah , 203, 41-42
