Acceptance of the concept of unity in diversity, therefore, implies the development in the individual of a global consciousness, a sense of world citizenship, and a love for humanity as a whole. It represents a heritage that enriches us all and that must be permitted to bear its fruit in a global civilization. Much like the role played by the gene pool in the biological life of humankind and its environment, the immense wealth of cultural diversity achieved over thousands of years is vital to the development of the human race which is experiencing its collective coming-of-age. ![]() It cherishes the natural diversity of temperament and talents among individuals as well as humanity's variegated experiences, cultures and viewpoints, inasmuch as they contribute to the human family's progress and well-being. Unity in diversity stands in contrast to uniformity. The physical well-being thus achieved finds its purpose in making possible the expression of human consciousness that is to say, the purpose of biological development transcends the mere existence of the body and its parts. No cell lives apart from the body, whether in contributing to its functioning or in deriving its share from the well-being of the whole. Paradoxically, it is precisely the wholeness and complexity of the order constituting the human body - and the perfect integration into it of the body's cells - that permit the full realization of the distinctive capacities inherent in each of these component elements. Chief among these is that of unity in diversity.

It repudiates excessive centralization on the one hand, and disclaims all attempts at uniformity on the other. It insists upon the subordination of national impulses and interests to the imperative claims of a unified world. It calls for a wider loyalty, for a larger aspiration than any that has animated the human race. It does not ignore, nor does it attempt to suppress, the diversity of ethnical origins, of climate, of history, of language and tradition, of thought and habit, that differentiate the peoples and nations of the world. ![]() Its purpose is neither to stifle the flame of a sane and intelligent patriotism in men's hearts, nor to abolish the system of national autonomy so essential if the evils of excessive centralization are to be avoided. It can conflict with no legitimate allegiances, nor can it undermine essential loyalties. Far from aiming at the subversion of the existing foundations of society, it seeks to broaden its basis, to remold its institutions in a manner consonant with the needs of an ever-changing world. Let there be no misgivings as to the animating purpose of the world-wide Law of Bahá’u’lláh. ![]()
