Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh Revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas
Bahá'u'lláh
Bahai Faith -- Doctrines
In another passage He hath written: Take heed, O concourse of the rulers
of the world! There is no force on earth that can equal in its conquering
power the force of justice and wisdom. I, verily, affirm that there is
not, and hath never been, a host more mighty than that of justice and
wisdom. Blessed is the king who marcheth with the ensign of wisdom
unfurled before him, and the battalions of justice massed in his rear. He
verily is the ornament that adorneth the brow of peace and the countenance
of security. There can be no doubt whatever that if the day-star of
justice, which the clouds of tyranny have obscured, were to shed its light
upon men, the face of the earth would be completely transformed.
The Great Being, wishing to reveal the prerequisites of the peace and
tranquillity of the world and the advancement of its peoples, hath
written: The time must come when the imperative necessity for the holding
of a vast, an all-embracing assemblage of men will be universally
realized. The rulers and kings of the earth must needs attend it, and,
participating in its deliberations, must consider such ways and means as
will lay the foundations of the world’s Great Peace amongst men. Such a
peace demandeth that the Great Powers should resolve, for the sake of the
tranquillity of the peoples of the earth, to be fully reconciled among
themselves. Should any king take up arms against another, all should
unitedly arise and prevent him. If this be done, the nations of the world
will no longer require any armaments, except for the purpose of preserving
the security of their realms and of maintaining internal order within
their territories. This will ensure the peace and composure of every
people, government and nation. We fain would hope that the kings and
rulers of the earth, the mirrors of the gracious and almighty name of God,
may attain unto this station, and shield mankind from the onslaught of
tyranny.
Likewise He saith: Among the things which are conducive to unity and
concord and will cause the whole earth to be regarded as one country is
that the divers languages be reduced to one language and in like manner
the scripts used in the world be confined to a single script. It is
incumbent upon all nations to appoint some men of understanding and
erudition to convene a gathering and through joint consultation choose one
language from among the varied existing languages, or create a new one, to
be taught to the children in all the schools of the world.
The day is approaching when all the peoples of the world will have adopted
one universal language and one common script. When this is achieved, to
whatsoever city a man may journey, it shall be as if he were entering his
own home. These things are obligatory and absolutely essential. It is
incumbent upon every man of insight and understanding to strive to
translate that which hath been written into reality and action.
