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.
