Abdu'l-Baha in London by -'Abdu'l-Bahá- 2 Para

A True Baha'i (2)-
"I have never heard of Baha'u'llah," said a young man. I have only recently read about this movement, but I recognize the mission of 'Abdu'l- Baha and desire to be a disciple. I have always believed in the brotherhood of man as the ultimate solvent of all our national and international difficulties." (89:1)

"It makes no difference whether you have ever heard of Baha'u'llah or not," was the answer, "the man who lives the life according to the teachings of Baha'u'llah is already a Baha'i. On the other hand a man may call himself a Baha'i for fifty years and if he does not live the life he is not a Baha'i. An ugly man may call himself handsome, but he deceives no one, and a black man may call himself white yet he deceives no one: not even himself!" (89:2)
