Racial Harmony

Now, more than ever, there’s a deep desire to experience humanity as one race, one soul, one body! People around the world want freedom from racial prejudice. They want to cast away the fallacious doctrine of white superiority, with all its misery, confusion and suffering. It is time to tear down barriers, free ourselves of this social cancer and recognize our oneness.




“The happiness of mankind lieth in the Unity and the Harmony of the Human Race”      
-‘Abdu’l-Baha

“All beings tremble before violence. All fear death, all love life. See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?” 
-The Buddha

“The diversity in the human family should be the cause of love and harmony, as it is in music where many different notes blend together in the making of a perfect chord.  If you meet those of different race and colour from yourself, do not mistrust them and withdraw yourself into your shell of conventionality, but rather be glad and show them kindness.  Think of them as different coloured roses growing in the beautiful garden of humanity, and rejoice to be among them.      
–‘Abdu’l-Baha

“The tabernacle of unity has been raised; regard ye not one another as strangers.  Ye are the fruits of one tree and leaves of one branch.” 
-Baha’u’llah

“A white has no superiority over black nor a black any superiority over white -except by piety and good action.” 
–Prophet Mohammad

“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 
–the Bible

“Racism retards the potentiality of its victims, corrupts its perpetrators, and blights human progress. If this problem is to be overcome, the oneness of humanity must be universally upheld and protected by law and through social policies.”

-The Universal House of Justice

“For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.” 
–The Bhagavad Gita
