The Reality of all is One. Truth is one. Religions are like
the branches of one Tree. One branch is high, one is low and one in the centre,
yet all draw their life from the one stem. One branch bears fruit and others
are not laden so abundantly. All the Prophets are lights, they only differ in
degree; they shine like brilliant heavenly bodies, each have their appointed
place and time of ascension. Some are like lamps, some like the moon, some like
distant stars, and a few are like the sun, shining from one end of the earth to
the other. all have the same Light to give, yet they are different in degree.
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha (From a talk; ‘Abdu’l-Baha in London’)
