Istijlál (Majesty), 9 Kalimát (Words) 174 Badi - Thursday, July 20, 2017 CE

"The most exalted Pen doth weep unto itself over what hath occurred in this contingent world. Matters have reached such a pass that a stagnant pool claims to be the ocean and a lizard doth claim to be an eagle. What hath occurred? What smoke hath encompassed the world? Hath not the fragrance of this revelation been diffused and distinguished itself from aught else? Can not the straight path be discerned from the pathways of evil? No! By my life! The truth with all of its attributes and actions is and always has been distinguishable from aught else and those who are possessed of insight have not and will not be mistaken over this."

Bahá’u’lláh1

This scripture reflects what is going on in the world today. The only way to overcome the fear and hate that flows across the planet is acceptance of the unity of the human race. No matter what religion, what nation, or the color of people's skin we are all humans. As humans we have more in common then the total amount of our differences.
