| |
1 |
"We should--every one of us--remain aloof, in heart and
in mind, in words and in deeds, from the political affairs and
disputes of the Nations and of Governments. We should keep
ourselves away from such thoughts. We should have no political
connection with any of the parties and should join no
faction of these different and warring sects.

"Absolute impartiality in the matter of political parties
should be shown by words and by deeds, and the love of the
whole humanity, whether a Government or a nation, which is
the basic teaching of Bahá'u'lláh, should also be shown by
words and by deeds...

"According to the exhortations of the Supreme Pen and the
confirmatory explanations of the Covenant of God Bahá'ís are
in no way allowed to enter into political affairs under any
pretense of excuse; since such an action brings about disastrous
results and ends in hurting the Cause of God and its intimate
friends."
