The spiritual teacher Bahá’u’lláh was the founder of the Baha'i faith. The Bahá’í believe that the crucial need facing humanity is the acceptance of a unified future society That expresses the true nature and purpose of life.
The conviction that we belong to one human family is at the heart of the Bahá’í Faith. Bahá’u’lláh compared the world of humanity to the human body. Within this organism, millions of cells, diverse in form and function, play their part in maintaining a healthy system. The principle that governs the functioning of the body is cooperation. Its various parts do not compete for resources; rather, each cell, from its inception, is linked to a continuous process of giving and receiving.
Embracing the teachings of the Baha'i principle of the oneness of humankind requires a profound shift in our thinking: “If you desire with all your heart, friendship with every race on earth, your thought, spiritual and positive, will spread; it will become the desire of others, growing stronger and stronger, until it reaches the minds of all men.”
The Bahá’í faith is practiced worldwide, and represents another step toward world unity and the enlightenment of mankind. To learn more about the Baha'i faith, visit the website.
