Neighbours and friends gather together to discuss community building endeavours.
Bahá'u'lláh’s vision of the oneness of humanity can best be achieved through the transformation of both our individual and collective lives.
We cannot segregate the human heart from the environment outside us and say that once one of these is reformed everything will be improved. Man is organic with the world. His inner life moulds the environment and is itself also deeply affected by it. The one acts upon the other and every abiding change in the life of man is the result of these mutual reactions.
