abstract	For the first time in history, a world religion has promised that there will be a universal auxiliary language taught to children in schools around the world. This article discusses the advantages of such a step, and explores why this promise is so vital for peace and harmony in the world. The author also considers two candidates - Esperanto and English. The Baha;i principle of justice is also taken into consideration with regard to the choice of a world auxiliary language.
