Education for Peace project in Bosnia and Herzegovina
May the principle of the oneness of mankind illumine our spirits as we apply it to every aspect of our lives and to our interactions with our fellow men. 'Abdu'l-Bahá says:--
As material knowledge is illuminating those within the walls of this great temple of learning [Columbia University], so also may the light of the spirit, the inner and divine light of the real philosophy glorify this institution. The most important principle of divine philosophy is the oneness of the world of humanity, the unity of mankind, the bond conjoining East and West, the tie of love which blends human hearts. All the divine Manifestations have proclaimed the oneness of God and the unity of mankind. They have taught that men should love and mutually help each other in order that they might progress.... Consider the virtues of the human world and realize that the oneness of humanity is the primary foundation of them all. Read the Gospel and the other Holy Books. You will find their fundamentals are one and the same. Therefore, unity is the essential truth of religion.... And the religion of God is absolute love and unity.
('Abdu'l-Bahá, Promulgation 31-2)
