The True Bahá'í
"I have never heard of Bahá'u'lláh," said a young man. I have only recently read about this movement, but I recognize the mission of `Abdu'l-Bahá and desire to be a disciple. I have always believed in the brotherhood of man as the ultimate solvent of all our national and international difficulties."
"It makes no difference whether you have ever heard of Bahá'u'lláh or not," was the answer, "the man who lives the life according to the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh is already a Bahá'í. On the other hand a man may call himself a Bahá'í for fifty years and if he does not live the life he is not a Bahá'í. An ugly man may call himself handsome, but he deceives no one, and a black man may call himself white yet he deceives no one: not even himself!"
-- `Abdu'l-Bahá, `Abdu'l-Bahá in London, pp. 105-106

we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second
time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire."
Teilard de Chardin

I was thinking of this today while working on a project. This is the essence of the Faith for me.
