The principle of the Oneness of Mankind, as proclaimed by
Bahá'u'lláh, carries with it no more and no less than a solemn assertion that
attainment to this final stage in this stupendous evolution is not only
necessary but inevitable, that its realization is fast approaching, and that
nothing short of a power that is born of God can succeed in establishing it.
