Were one to observe with an eye that discovereth the
realities of all things, it would become clear that the greatest relationship
that bindeth the world of being together lieth in the range of created things
themselves, and that co-operation, mutual aid and reciprocity are essential
characteristics in the unified body of the world of being, inasmuch as all
created things are closely related together and each is influenced by the other
or deriveth benefit therefrom, either directly or indirectly.
- 'Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, Conservation of the
Earth's Resources)
