With a message of Universal Peace and the oneness of humanity, he addressed the pressing social, religious, and political issues of the time.

This volume captures a rich collection of informal talks and spontaneous discourses delivered in Persian and Arabic, interpreted by skilled linguists. Upon arriving in New York City, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá declared his mission to share the fundamental principles of Bahá’u’lláhs teachings, urging the Bahá’ís of America to embody these ideals in their daily lives.
