Let those who meet you know, without your proclaiming the fact, that you are indeed a Bahá’í. In this way, even if, sometimes, what you at first suspected should be true, still go out of your way to be kind to them-this kindness will help them to become better.Īfter all, why should any foreign people be treated as strangers? Help to make them feel at home find out where they are staying, ask if you may render them any service try to make their lives a little happier. Be kind to the strangers, whether come they from Turkey, Japan, Persia, Russia, China or any other country in the world. I ask you not to think only of yourselves. You think it necessary to be very careful, not to expose yourselves to the risk of making acquaintance with such, possibly, undesirable people. Do not look at them as though you suspected them of being evildoers, thieves and boors. Let not conventionality cause you to seem cold and unsympathetic when you meet strange people from other countries. When a man turns his face to God he finds sunshine everywhere. The Duty of Kindness and Sympathy towards Strangers and Foreigners
