"The precepts laid down by God constitute the highest means for the maintenance of order in the world and the security of its peoples." (Bwf 126) (86:6) "Whenever My laws appear like the sun in the heaven of Mine utterance, they must be faithfully obeyed by all, though My decree be such as to cause the heaven of every religion to be cleft asunder." (Bwf 127) (86:7) "Just as you were physically born from the mother into this world, ye must be born again from the mother- world of nature into the life of the divine Kingdom... May you all be born again from this mortal world into the realm of the Kingdom. May you clearly witness the signs of God, sense the virtues of the divine, attain the eternal bounties and perceive the reality of life everlasting." (Pup 327) (86:8) "Real love is the love which exists between God and His servants, the love which binds together holy souls. This is the love of the spiritual world, not the love of physical bodies and organisms" "Baha'u'llah has proclaimed and provided the way by which hostility and dissension may be removed from the human world." (Pup 250; Pup 225) (86:9) "He is indeed a captive who hath not recognized the Supreme Redeemer, but hath suffered his soul to be bound, distressed and helpless, in the fetters of his desires." "He is not to be numbered with the people of Baha' who followeth his mundane desires..." (Bwf 96; Gl118) (86:10) "Leave all thought of self, and strive only to be obedient and submissive to the Will of God. In this way only shall we become citizens of the Kingdom of God." (Pt 54)
