Be bore these ordeal, suffered these calamities and difficulties in order that a manifestation of selflessness and service might become apparent in the world of humanity; that the Most Great Peace should become a reality. (pup 28) (114:1) Abdul-Baha states that Baha'u'llah suffered these ordeals to spread His teachings. Through His suffering, "love and unity were established, and the differing religions found a center of contact and reconciliation" (pup 145-6). Abdul-Baha states: (114:2) "Therefore, we also must strive in this pathway of love and service, sacrificing life and possessions, passing our days in devotion, consecrating our efforts wholly to the Cause of God so that, God willing, the ensign of universal religion may be uplifted in the world of mankind and the oneness of the world of humanity be established." (pup 146)
(114:3)
