All men have been created to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization..." – Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, CIX (BH00407) "My object is none other than the betterment of the world and the tranquillity of its peoples. The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established..." – Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, CXXXI (BH00674) "Occupy not the days of your lives with the betterment of your own affairs; arise, rather, for the betterment of the world." – Additional Tablets and Extracts from Tablets Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh "... Material civilization is like unto the lamp, while spiritual civilization is the light in that lamp. If the material and spiritual civilization become united, then we will have the light and the lamp together, and the outcome will be perfect. For material civilization is like unto a beautiful body, and spiritual civilization is like unto the spirit of life. If that wondrous spirit of life enters this beautiful body, the body will become a channel for the distribution and development of the perfections of humanity..." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, talk no. 5 (14 April 1912) "... Bahá’ís are engaged in cities and villages across the globe in establishing a pattern of life in which increasing numbers, irrespective of background, are invited to take part. This pattern, expressive of the dynamic coherence between the material and spiritual dimensions of life, includes classes for the spiritual education of children in which they also develop a deep appreciation for the fundamental unity of the various world religions; groups that assist young people to navigate a crucial stage of their lives and to withstand the corrosive forces that especially target them; circles of study wherein participants reflect on the spiritual nature of existence and build capacity for service to the community and society; gatherings for collective worship that strengthen the devotional character of the community; and, in time, a growing range of endeavours for social and economic development. This pattern of community life is giving rise to vibrant and purposeful new communities wherein relationships are founded on the oneness of mankind, universal participation, justice, and freedom from prejudice. All are welcome. The process which is unfolding seeks to foster collaboration and build capacity within every human group—with no regard to class or religious background, with no concern for ethnicity or race, and irrespective of gender or social status—to arise and contribute to the advancement of civilization." – From a letter dated 27 December 2017, written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual See also: – Bahai org: An Ever-Advancing Civilization – Bahá'í Sacred Writings, Chapters 8 and 18
