A True Baha'i

Sources: 'abdu'l-baha In London

A student of the modern methods of the higher criticism asked 'Abdu'l-Baha

if he would do well to continue in the church with which he had been

associated all his life, and whose language was full of meaning to him.

'Abdu'l-Baha answered: You must not dissociate yourself from it. Know

this; the Kingdom of God is not in any Society; some seekers go through

many Societies as a traveller goes through many cities till he reach his

destination. If you belong to a Society already do not forsake your

brothers. You can be a Baha'i-Christian, a Baha'i-Freemason, a Baha'i-Jew,

a Baha'i-Muhammadan. The number nine contains eight, and seven, and all

the other numbers, and does not deny any of them. Do not distress or deny

anyone by saying 'He is not a Baha'i!' He will be known by his deeds.

There are no secrets among Baha'is; a Baha'i does not hide anything.
