180 SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THE FAITH (A Single Divine and World-Embracing System)
"Concerning the idea of the Bahá'í World Order and the
proper emphasis which should be laid on the social aspect of
the Faith; the Guardian feels the necessity for all teachers to
stress the fact that the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh can, under
no circumstances, be divorced from the spiritual principles and
teachings of the Cause; that the social laws and institutions of
the Faith are inseparably bound up and closely interwoven with
the moral and spiritual principles enunciated by Bahá'u'lláh,
Who, Himself, indeed, has time and again emphasized the
underlying oneness and the identity of purpose of all His
spiritual, doctrinal, and social teachings. The Friends, while
emphasizing both of these aspects, should, in particular, point
out that they constitute parts of one and the same plan, and
elements of a single, divine and world-embracing system."
