Baháʼu’lláh, the Baha’is’ leader, offers the following analogy to illustrate his vision of the oneness of humanity:
“Baháʼís are like jewels, while others are mere pebbles of the earth. One Baháʼí is, in the sight of God, better than thousands upon thousands of non-Baháʼís—just as a single ruby surpasses a thousand Rocky Mountains.”
(Ma’idih-yi Asmani, Vol. 4, p. 353)
