  UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
 .
 .
One of the causes of misunderstanding in the world is that people cannot understand each other's languages. Every country has a different tongue and when a person goes from his own land to another part of the world, he feels that he is among strangers.
.
Baha'u'llah has come to unite all the people of the world and make them like members of the same family. One of His laws , therefore , is that a common language must be taught in
every part of the world, so that every person will learn that language besides his
own native tongue. In this way , people will fell at home no matter where
they go because they can all understand each other.
.
The differences in language sometimes causes misunderstanding which may even lead to dangerous conflicts. Take the name of our Creator for example. In the Hindi language He is called Ishwara, in Arabic Allah and in English the God. Ignorant people think that God is
different from Ishwara or Allah, and fight with each other over these different names.
When the people can all speak one common, universal language, they will come
to realize that it is the same Creator they are all referring to. this in itself
remove a lot of misunderstanding from among them.
.
.The Baha'is have so far translated the Message of Baha'u'llah into about 318 languages of the world because people do not know one common language. When the Universal language is adopted in the the world , It will become much easier to give the teachings of Baha'u'llah
to different peoples, and everyone will be able to read the sacred Writings of
the Manifestations of God Himself, in that language.
