The teachings of Bahá'u'lláh will establish a new way of
life for humanity. Those who are Bahá'ís must endeavour to establish
this way of life just as rapidly as possible. Now that the hour has arrived
when the Bahá'í Faith is gaining prominence, and is being reviewed by so many
peoples, it is necessary that the adherents of the Faith should live up to the
high ideals of the Faith in every way. In this way they can demonstrate that
the Bahá'í Faith does create a new way of life, which brings to the individual
a complete association with the Will of God, and thus the establishment of a
peaceful and universal society. Divisional attachments are of men, while
universal service is of God.
