cial prejudice. Loyalty to this foundation principle of the
Faith is the paramount duty of every believer and should be therefore
wholehearted and unqualified. For a Baha'i, racial prejudice, in all its
forms, is simply a negation of Faith, an attitude wholly incompatible with
the very spirit and actual teachings of the Cause.

"But while the friends should faithfully and courageously uphold this
Baha'i principle of the essential unity of all human races, yet in the
methods they adopt for its application and further realization on the
social plane they should act with tact, wisdom and moderation. These two
attitudes are by no means exclusive. Baha'is do not believe that the
spread of the Cause and its principles and teachings can be effected by
means of radical and violent methods. While they are loyal to all those

maturity in the development of mankind. His appearance has released such
spiritual forces which will continue to animate, for many long years to
come, the world in its development. Whatever progress may be achieved, in
later ages, after the unification of the whole human race is achieved,
will be but improvement in the machinery of the world. For the machinery
itself has been already created by Baha'u'llah. The task of continually
improving and perfecting this machinery is one which later Prophets will
be called upon to achieve. They will thus move and work within the orbit
of the Baha'i Cycle."

165: PSYCHIATRY

"There is nothing in our teachings about Freud and his method. Psychiatry
treatment in general is no doubt an important contribution to medicine,
but we must believe it is still a growing rather than a perfected science.
