Love
From separation doth every kind of hurt and harm
proceed, but the union of created things doth ever
yield most laudable results. From the pairing of
even the smallest particles in the world of being
are the grace and bounty of God made manifest; and
the higher the degree, the more momentous is the
union. 'Glory be to Him Who hath created all the
pairs, of such things as earth produceth, and out of
men themselves, and of things beyond their ken.' And
above all other unions is that between human beings,
especially when it cometh to pass in the love of
God. Thus is the primal oneness made to appear; thus
is laid the foundation of love in the spirit.
-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.

As
a gathering place for prayer and meditation,
Baha'i Houses of Worship are the religious
buildings that most closely approximate the role
of the church, the temple or the mosque. Yet they
are also something more. >
