The Oneness of Mankind

The Central distinguishing feature of the Bahá’í Teachings is the Oneness of Mankind.   This principle is applicable not only to the interaction between individuals but is concerned  “primarily with the nature of those essential relationships that must bind all the states and nations as members of one human family.

The earth is but one country and mankind it’s citizens”  – Bahá’u’lláh

Let your vision be world-embracing, rather than confined to your own self… ” – Bahá’u’lláh

All mankind are the fruits of one tree, flowers of the same garden, waves of one sea.” -Abdu’l-Baha
