196: TEACHING--DIVINE WORLD ORDER--THE SOLE PANACEA

"In connection with your teaching work: What the Guardian wishes you to

particularly emphasize in all your talks is the supreme necessity for all

individuals and nations in this day to adopt in its entirety the social

program given by Baha'u'llah for the reconstruction of the religious,

economic and political life of mankind. He wishes you to explain and

analyze the elements that help in raising this Divine World Order in the

light of the present-day events and conditions in the world. Special

stress, he feels, should be laid on the impending necessity of

establishing a super-national, and sovereign world state, as the one

described by Baha'u'llah. With the world becoming increasingly subject to

tumults and convulsions never experienced before, the realization of such

a necessity is entering into the consciousness of not only the wise and

learned, but of the common people as well. The believers should,

therefore, seize this opportunity to make a supreme effort to present, in

convincing and eloquent language, those social and humanitarian teachings

of the Faith which we believe to constitute the sole panacea for the

innumerable ills afflicting our present-day world."
