One sees a reflected light in the thoughts of all, signs of the desire for this unity. Through Baha'o'llah hearts have been attracted. All are agreed that to establish justice between the members of the human family is the most stupendous task of the ages. (61:2) The cause spread first in Persia and from there through other countries. Many of those who speak of these ideals of unity are slow to realize that they emanate from Baha'o'llah - they talk as though the ideals emanate from themselves. The earth will receive the perfect sunrise when the teachings of Baha'o'llah are world-spread. When he says, "Ye are all the leaves of one branch," he infers the inherent differences between men, differences like unto the leaves. Nature manifests in various forms, but the basic element is the same. There is unity of essence and variety of expression.
(61:3)
