Bahā’u’llāh, Majmū`iy-i alwāḥ-i mubārak-ih (Persian copy), p. 265
Oh friends! Know that the curtain of unity has been raised, do not look at each other as strangers; you are all the fruits of one tree and the leaves of one branch.
`Abd al-Ḥamīd Ishrāq Khāwarī, Mā’idiy-i āsimānī, vol. 4, pp. 353
My friends are the pearls of [this] order and all others are earthly pebbles . . . a single one of these (Baha’is) is more precious than a million others (non-Baha’is).
If you ask a Baha’i about the contradiction of these statements, he will be confused between Baha’i leader’s saying and Baha’i teachings!!
