BE MOST LOVING ONE TO ANOTHER. Burn away, wholly for the sake of the Well-Beloved, the veil of self with the flame of the undying Fire, and WITH FACES JOYOUS AND BEAMING WITH LIGHT, ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR.

~ Gleanings from the Writing of Bahá’u’lláh, CXLVII, Page 316


YOUR BEHAVIOR TOWARDS YOUR NEIGHBOR SHOULD BE SUCH AS TO MANIFEST CLEARLY THE SIGNS OF THE ONE TRUE GOD, for ye are the first among men to be re-created by His Spirit, the first to adore and bow the knee before Him, the first to circle round His throne of glory.

~ Gleanings from the Writing of Bahá’u’lláh, CXLVII, Pages 316-317


Gird up the loins of thine endeavor, that haply thou mayest guide thy neighbor to the law of God, the Most Merciful. Such an act, verily, excelleth all other acts in the sight of God, the All-Possessing, the Most High.

Examine Our Cause, inquire into the things that have befallen Us, and decide justly between Us and Our enemies, and BE YE OF THEM THAT ACT EQUITABLY TOWARDS THEIR NEIGHBOR.

Beseech ye the one true God to grant that ye may taste the savor of such deeds as are performed in His path, and partake of the sweetness of such humility and submissiveness as are shown for His sake. Forget your own selves, and turn your eyes towards your neighbor.

~ Gleanings from the Writing of Bahá’u’lláh, V, Page 9

BE HUMBLE TOWARDS OUR NEIGHBORS

Make way for the old and the weak on narrow lanes.

Don’t get carried away with your speech in a crowded place

And ridicule others thoughtlessly.

Bà con chòm xóm ra vô khiêm nhường

Cợt người ra dạ dể duôi

Sanh điều xích mích, đâu nguôi dạ hờn.
