"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 Baha'u'llah, should also be shown by words and by deeds... (57:2) "According to the exhortations of the Supreme Pen and the confirmatory explanations of the Covenant of God Baha'is 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."
