Differences

Sources: 'abdu'l-baha In London

God has created the world as one--the boundaries are marked out by man. God

has not divided the lands, but each man has his house and meadow; horses

and dogs do not divide the fields into parts. That is why Baha'u'llah

says: Let not a man glory in that he loves his country, but that he loves

his kind. All are of one family, one race; all are human beings.

Differences as to the partition of lands should not be the cause of

/> separation among the people.



One of the great reasons of separation is colour. Look how this prejudice

has power in America, for instance. See how they hate one another! Animals

do not quarrel because of their colour! Surely man who is so much higher

in creation, should not be lower than the animals. Think over this. What

ignorance exists! White doves do not quarrel with blue doves because of

their colour, but white men fight with dark-coloured men. This racial

prejudice is the worst of all.



The Old Testament says that God created man like unto His own image; in

the Qur'an it says: There is no difference in the Creation of God! Think

well, God has created all, cares for all, and all are under His

protection. The policy of God is better than our policy. We are not as

wise as God!
