Thou hast asked about unity. The first kind of unity is
unity in religion. This unity has always been the cause of the victory of the
Faith of God in every age and century. Togetherness is the mystic sword of God.
For example, should a government see that most of the people of the country
have rent asunder the veils and are turning towards the horizon of Divine
revelation, it should remain silent and should listen to what is said. Each
person who is attentive attains to the knowledge of God, except those who are
utterly distant from the Mercy of God. They indeed are fully deserving of anger
and vehement opposition. Such persons are, in any case, forbidden and barred.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Tablet
of Unity’)
