"So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.”

—Baha'u'llah (1817-1892); Iranian philosopher
The Pen of Glory: Selected Works of Baha'u'llah

"I died as a mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was Man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die as Man, to soar
With angels bless'd; but even from angelhood
I must pass on: all except God doth perish.
When I have sacrificed my angel-soul,
I shall become what no mind e'er conceived.
Oh, let me not exist! for Non-existence
Proclaims in organ tones,
To Him we shall return.

~ Jalaluddin Rumi

Unity, Love

"The unity that binds us all together, that makes this earth a
family, and all men brothers and the sons of God, is love."
~ Thomas Wolfe
