THE BAHA'I CAUSE (Contributed) "The sou1·oe of all learning i S' the lcnowleclge of Goa, exalted be His glory I and t1uis camnot be attainea save through the lcnowle,age of His divine Manifestation." -B.A.HA'U' LLAH. "The gift of Goa to tlvis enUghtenea age is t he lc?wwleclge of the oneness of mant- kind OAtcl tlU:J f111nclMnental oneness of religion. War shall ce.ase between nations, ana by the win of Goa the JJfost Great Peace shall come; the woTld will be see?t as a n ew wo1·la, ana all men wil~ live as bTotheTs." - ABDU'L BAHA. Since May 23, 1844, the Baha'i Cause has been steadfastly presented to the world as the expression for .this age of the same universal Spirit that in other ages spoke thr·o ugh the Zoroaster, the Moses, the Jesus, and the Mohamet; one divine utterance giving forth one a nd the same message, albeit adapted to the conditions and human capacities of each time. In Baha'u'llah, according to the faith of the Baha'is, the Message has been given mankind in its fullness and universality, and the Baha'i Gause accordingly represents the fulfilment of that which was but partially revealed in previ- ous religions. A significant part of the teachings of Baha'u'llah consists of an interpretation of the Bibles of the past, proving that they are several expressions of one fundamental Truth and hence to be regarded with equal reverence by all races and peoples. Another part of the Baha'i Message is devoted to an expositio·n of the fact that it is only through spiritual ignorance that mankind divides truth into separate, unrelated and frequently hostile sections: religion, science, ethics, politics, economics and art; and that in this new age these false and arbitrary divisions shall be destroyed, since from them derive the fatal divisions of society into nations, creeds, classes and the many diverse interests rending the modern world. Still another, most significant 86 HARTMANN 'S 1 WHO'S WHO
portion of the teaching concerns itself with revealing the new, universal possibilities of the present age~an a ge wh ose essence is the fact that now all the ideals and visions of the past can be translated into realities for the expansion and enrichment of all lives according to the capacity of the individual soul. In the limited space of this brief outline, the Baha'i teachings can not be men- tioned in further detail. The inquirer wiil find thos e teachings fully expounded in the works of Baha'u'lla h, th e founder of the Baha'i Cause, and of Abdu'l Baha, whom Baha'u'llah appointed as the center of his covenant •and the interpreter of his books. Of importance second only to the teachings themselves, however, is the history of the manner in which the world r eceived the Message of Bah a'u'llah . His forerunner and h erald, now known as the "Bab," meaning Door or Gate of Truth, was executed by order of the Persian Government under the instigation of the clergy, in the public square of Tabri'Z, Qn July 9, 1850. Practically all who· accepted the new message suffered martyrdom during rthe next few years. Twenty thousand deaths have been r ecorded among the followers Qf the Bab and Baha'u'llah at the hands of the fanatic mob, isolated cases of religious murder occuring in Persia even up to the year 1924. But persecution has resulted in the more rapid and determined spread of the Cause. From. the first, therefore, the Baha'i teachings have been identified with an extremity of persecution proving beyond all doubt the essentially spiritual character of this movement and distinguishing it from other modern movements content with a mental acceptance involving no sacrifice or loss. Baha'u'llah himself, together with his ei"dest son Abdu'l Baha, then a child of eight, the other members of his family aud some three score followers, was exiled from Teheran to Bagdad, from Bagdad to Constantinople, from Constantinople to Adrianople, and from thence finally t o Acca, in Palestine, where they remained under the surveillance of the Turkish Government until freed by the victory of the Young Turks party in 1907. Those years were occupied with training his followers, directing the a ffairs of the movement, and the writing of his books, until his death in 1892. From 1892 to 1921, Abdu'l Baha guided the movement and caused its spread to Indi.a and -other part of the East, to Europe and to North America. The Baha'i Cause today, under the guardianship of Shoghi Effendi, the grandson of Abdu'l Baha, is a spiritual fellowship embracing men and women of all races and religions, organized in a true world-wide unity that might w ell be taken as a model, both .as to spirit and form, by other organizations in the inter-national field .
