It may be a surprise to discover where these concepts of Love, Acceptance, Forgiveness, and Serving come from. Although in many ways they are obvious, they come from the Sacred Scriptures.

I realize that for most people that is not exactly the first place you rush to get your life sorted out but I would suggest that you don't dismiss it immediately.

For centuries people have been looking to the Sacred Scriptures to give them answers to issues of life and it is a good place for us to start too. After all, it is very honest about human relationships and so many people have found help there. In the absence of any other solution, let us at least come with an open mind.

The subject of Universal Justice can not be fully expressed in my limited knowledge but the talk of the Beloveth Master Abdul Baha on Universal Love broaden my knowledge of the concept.

The talk of Abdul Baha in Paris elaborates on this concept of Universal Love and is so powerful and illustrative.

An Indian said to Abdul Baha:

My aim in life is to transmit as far as in me lies the message of Krishna to the World.

Abdul Baha said: The Message of Krishna is the message of love. All God's prophets have brought the message of love.

All God's Prophets have brought the message of love. None has ever thought that war and hate are good. Every one agrees in saying that love and kindness are best.

Love manifests it's a reality in deeds, not only in words, these alone are without effect. So that love may manifest its power there must be an object, an instrument, a motive.

There are many ways of expressing love principles, there is love for the family, for the country, for the race, there is political enthusiasm, and there is also loved of the community of interest in service. These are ways and means of showing the power of love.

The above ways of expressing love make it more practical in demonstrating this quality of love.

We must find a way of spreading love among the sons of humanity.

Love is unlimited, boundless, infinite! Material things are limited, circumscribed, finite. You can not adequately express infinite love by limited means.

The perfect love needs an unselfish instrument, absolutely freed from fetters of every kind.

The love of family is limited, the tie of blood relation is not the strongest bond. Frequently members of the same family disagree and even hate each other.

Patriotic love is finite, the loved ones' country causing hatred of all others, is not perfect love. Compatriots also are not free from quarrels amongst themselves.

The love of race is limited, there is some union here, but that is insufficient. Love must be free from boundaries.

To love our race may mean hatred of all others, and even people of the same race often dislike each other.

Political love also is much bound up with hatred of one party for another, this love is very limited and uncertain.

The love of community of interest in service is likewise fluctuating, frequently competitions arise, which lead to jealousy, and at the length hatred replaces love.

A few years ago, Turkey and Italy had a friendly political understanding, now they are at war! All these ties of love are imperfect. Limited material ties are insufficient to adequately express the concept of Universal Love.

The great unselfish love for humanity is bounded by none of these imperfect, semi selfish bonds, this is the one perfect love, possible to all mankind, and can only be achieved by the power of the Divine Spirit. No worldly power can accomplish universal love.

Let all be united in this Divine power of love! Let all strive to grow in the light of the Sun of Truth, and reflect this luminous love on all men, may this universal truth permeates all hearts and so becomes so united that they may dwell evermore in the radiance of the limitless love.

The concept of Love is such a complex and key subject that is widely misunderstood but the talk of the Master in Paris elaborates on this subject to a greater degree.
