A True Bahá'í
| |
1 |
A student of the modern methods of the higher
criticism asked `Abdu'l-Bahá 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-Bahá 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
Bahá'i-Christian, a Bahá'i-Freemason, a Bahá'i-Jew,
a Bahá'i-Muhammadán. 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
Bahá'í!' He will be known by his deeds. There are
no secrets among Bahá'ís; a Bahá'í does not hide
anything."
