I.ve posted this here before, without much visible result, so I try
again with the hope that the guidance of Baha;u;llah will awaken
them. Warmest regards to all.........Gio

"Consort with all men, O people of Baha, in a spirit of friendliness
and fellowship. If ye be aware of a certain truth, if ye possess a
jewel, of which others are deprived, share it with them in a language
of utmost kindliness and goodwill. If it be accepted, if it fulfill
its purpose, your object is attained. If anyone should refuse it,
leave him unto himself, and beseech God to guide him. Beware lest ye
deal unkindly with him. A kindly tongue is the lodestone of the hearts
of men. It is the bread of the spirit, it clotheth the words with
meaning, it is the fountain of the light of wisdom and understanding."
(Baha'u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 15)
" Likewise, when you meet those whose opinions differ from your
own, do not turn away your face from them. All are seeking truth, and
there are many roads leading thereto. Truth has many aspects, but it
remains always and forever one.
Do not allow difference of opinion, or diversity of thought to
separate you from your fellow-men, or to be the cause of dispute,
hatred and strife in your hearts.
Rather, search diligently for the truth and make all men your
friends " (Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 53)
