s are numerous. These manifold principles, which
constitute the greatest basis for the felicity of mankind and are of the
bounties of the Merciful, must be added to the matter of universal peace
and combined with it, so that results may accrue. Otherwise the
realization of universal peace by itself in the world of mankind is
difficult. As the teachings of Baha'u'llah are combined with universal
peace, they are like a table provided with every kind of fresh and
delicious food. Every soul can find, at that table of infinite bounty,
that which he desires. If the question is restricted to universal peace
alone, the remarkable results which are expected and desired will not be
attained. The scope of universal peace must be such that all the
communities and religions may find their highest wish realized in it. The
teachings of Baha'u'llah are such that all the communities of the world,
whether religious, political or ethical, ancient or modern, find in them
the expression of their highest wish.

For example, the people of religions find, in the teachings of
Baha'u'llah, the establishment of Universal Religion--a religion that
perfectly conforms with present conditions, which in reality effects the
immediate cure of the incurable disease, which relieves every pain, and
bestows the infallible antidote for every deadly poison. For if we wish to
arrange and organize the world of mankind in accordance with the present
religious imitations and thereby to establish the felicity of the world of
mankind, it is impossible and impracticable--for example, the enforcement
of the laws of the Torah and also of the other religions in accordance
with present imitations. But the essential basis of all the Divine
Religions which pertains to the virtues of the world of mankind and is the
foundation of the welfare of the world of man, is found in the teachings
of Baha'u'llah in the most perfect presentation.

Similarly, with regard to the peoples who clamour for freedom: the
moderate freedom which guarantees the welfare of the world of mankind and
maintains and preserves the universal relationships, is found in its
fullest power and extension in the teachings of Baha'u'llah.

So with regard to political parties: that which is the greatest policy
directing the world of mankind, nay, rather, the Divine policy, is found
in the teachings of Baha'u'llah.

Likewise with regard to the party of 'equality' which seeks the solution
of the economic probl
