Baha'u'llah's call to the leaders of his time remained unheeded. None of the rulers addressed by Baha'u'llah was mindful of his warning and counsels. Today we are experiencing the significance of those monitory words. It becomes more and more obvious that we are living in a period of crisis, the most critical phase in the history of mankind, that the future of mankind is threatened as never before by its own destructive forces, that man is on the way to a catastrophe, to self-annihilation. Since the report of the Club of Rome about the situation of mankind has been published and become a bestseller, wider circles of the population are now aware of what eminent scientists and philosophers have been observing for a long time: mankind is on the way to destruction, if it does not come to a fundamental change in consciousness.
