Bahá’í Explorations

This quote from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá emphasizes the importance of empathy and unity in human interactions. It suggests that by viewing each person through the lens of familial relationships—seeing them as a father, mother, brother, sister, or child—we can foster deeper understanding and compassion. This perspective encourages us to approach others with kindness and respect, breaking down barriers and resolving conflicts. By embodying this mindset, our difficulties in dealing with people diminish, as we become more attuned to their needs and feelings. This approach not only enhances personal relationships but also contributes to creating a more harmonious and inclusive society.

Regard each one either as a father, or as a brother, or as a sister, or as a mother, or as a child. If you can attain to this, your difficulties will vanish, you will know what to do.

When we look past strangerhood and view every member of society as family, societal divisions naturally dissolve.

Let your vision be world-embracing…” — Bahá’u’lláh
