Bahá’í Quotes

Diversity

Diversity of expression and creative give and take are essential aspects of Bahá’í community development. Without diversity, unity is impossible—only uniformity can be the result. For this reason, individual exploration of the Bahá’í teachings is valued for its potential contribution to community discourse and advancement. Here, the Internet affords novel ways of fostering such investigation and learning. The individual search for knowledge and truth, however, cannot be allowed to become a source of disunity or disagreement among Bahá’ís or between Bahá’ís and those studying the Faith.

Quote of the Day

Idal 17 Ala 182 B.E.

In the Holy Writings of former religions we read how Moses heard the voice of God through the Burning Bush or how the Dove descended upon Christ or how Muhammad received His Revelation through the Angel Gabriel. All these are different symbols of the same entity, the Holy Spirit, which acts as an intermediary between God and His Manifestations.
