"You know mother, at the place where they're going to take us for our execution, we will have to go up and stand on something high where they will put a rope around our necks...Then I'm going to kiss noose and say a prayer

"Mona replied, 'Mother,

If I knew that during each year I spend in prison only a few people become Baha'is, I would wish that I could spend a hundred thousand years in prison.' "And if I knew that because of my execution, all the youth of the world would arise, join hands in service to humanity, become selfless, teach the world about Baha'i ideals and try to move the world, I would beg Baha'u'llah to give me 100,000 lives to sacrifice in his path.' "Mother, do you know that they are going to execute me?" "You know mother, at the place where they're going to take us for our execution, we will have to go up and stand on something high where they will put a rope around our necks...Then I'm going to kiss noose and say a prayer

TO THE WORLD RELIGIOUS LEADERS

With every day that passes, danger grows that the rising fires of religious prejudice will ignite a worldwide conflagration the consequences of which are unthinkable. Such a danger civil government, unaided, cannot overcome. Nor should we delude ourselves that appeals for mutual tolerance can alone hope to extinguish animosities that claim to possess Divine sanction. The crisis calls on religious leadership for a break with the past as decisive as those that opened the way for society to address equally corrosive prejudices of race, gender and nation. Whatever justification exists for exercising influence in matters of conscience lies in serving the well-being of humankind. At this greatest turning point in the history of civilization, the demands of such service could not be more clear. 'The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable', Bahá'u'lláh urges, 'unless and until its unity is firmly established.'"

The Manifestations of God and the law of sacrifice

1. The Manifestation of God
As to those souls who are born into this life as ethereal and
radiant entities and yet, on account of their handicaps and
trials, are deprived of great and real advantages, and leave
the world without having lived to the full – certainly this
is a cause for grieving. This is the reason why the universal
Manifestations of God unveil Their countenances to man, and
endure every calamity and sore affliction, and lay down their
lives as a ransom; it is to make these very people, the ready
ones, the ones who have capacity, to become dawning points of
light, and to bestow upon them the life that fadeth never. This
is the true sacrifice: the offering of oneself, even as did Christ,
as a ransom for the life of the world. (SWA 69)

2. Jesus Christ

Know thou that when the Son of Man yielded up His breath
to God, the whole creation wept with a great weeping. By
sacrificing Himself, however, a fresh capacity was infused
into all created things.… The deepest wisdom which the sages
have uttered, the profoundest learning which any mind hath
unfolded, the arts which the ablest hands have produced,
the influence exerted by the most potent of rulers, are but
manifestations of the quickening power released by His
transcendent, His all-pervasive, and resplendent Spirit.
(GL 85–86)

3. Abraham and Muhammad

The Voice of God commandeth Him (Abraham) to offer up
Ishmael as a sacrifice, so that His steadfastness in the Faith
of God and his detachment from all else but Him may be
demonstrated unto men. The purpose of God, moreover, was
to sacrifice him as a ransom for the sins and iniquities of all the
peoples of the earth. This same honor, Jesus, the Son of Mary,
40
besought the one true God, exalted be His name and glory, to
confer upon Him. For the same reason was Husayn offered up
as a sacrifice by Muhammad, the Apostle of God. (GL 75–76)

4. The Báb

Methinks He, from His most exalted station, saith unto me:
“Would that my soul, O Prisoner, could be a ransom for Thy
captivity, and my being, O wronged One, be sacrificed for the
adversities Thou didst suffer!” (PM 40)

5. Bahá’u’lláh

I am he, O my God, who hath embraced Thy love and accepted
all the adversities which the world can inflict, who hath offered
up himself as a ransom for the sake of Thy loved ones, that
they may ascend into the heavens of Thy knowledge and be
drawn nearer unto Thee, and may soar in the atmosphere of
Thy love and Thy good-pleasure. (PM 25)
I have accepted to be tried by manifold adversities for no
purpose except to regenerate all that are in Thy heaven and on
Thy earth. Whoso hath loved Thee, can never feel attached to
his own self, except for the purpose of furthering Thy Cause…
Acquaint them, moreover, with what He Who is the Origin
of Thy most excellent titles hath, in His love for Thee, been
willing to bear for the sake of the regeneration of their souls…
(PM 198)
I yield Thee thanks, O my God, for that Thou hast offered me
up as a sacrifice in Thy path, and made me a target for the
arrows of afflictions as a token of Thy love for Thy servants,
and singled me out for all manner of tribulation for the
regeneration of Thy people. (PM 154)
41

Religion is one

"... the time has come when religious leadership must face honestly andwithout further evasion the implications of the truth that God is one and that,beyond all diversity of cultural expression and human interpretation, religion is likewise one."
