He is a “Baha’i”, “of the people of Baha”, who tries “as far as possible, to be filled with love” –- “from whom we breathe the fragrance of this love again.”

Unity is love. It cannot be established without love. Therefore try, as far as possible, to be filled with love. Love is perpetual life, the most perfect vitality. Consider how love has gathered us together from the East and the West! If there were no love between us our friendship would have been concluded with salutations, such as “Good morning” and "Good evening."
