Here are, very briefly explained, some of the principles
of Bahá’u’lláh.
In short, it behoves us all to be lovers of
truth. Let us seek her in every season and in every country, being careful
never to attach ourselves to personalities. Let us see the light wherever it shines,
and may we be enabled to recognize the light of truth no matter where
it may arise. Let us inhale the perfume of the rose from the midst
of thorns which surround it; let us drink the running water from every pure spring.
('Abdu'l-Bahá:
Paris Talks, Pages: 133 - 134)

UNITED NATIONS, — A Bahá’í-inspired program that has trained thousands of people in Honduras and Colombia to contribute to rural development was highlighted as a model for sustainable development at a major U.N. meeting this month.
The program, known as SAT -- an acronym for Sistema de Aprendizaje Tutorial (Tutorial Learning System) -- was presented in a three-hour workshop during the 16th session of the U.N. Commission on Sustainable Development, held 5-16 May at U.N. headquarters in New York.
The Bahá’í International Community also sponsored two side events at this year’s session of the commission – a panel discussion on “The Ethical Dimensions of Climate Change: Implications for Africa’s Agricultural and Rural Development” and another titled “Sustainable Development Without Rural Women?”
Nineteen Bahá’ís from nine countries attended this year’s commission as civil-society participants, said Tahirih Naylor, a representative of the Bahá’í International Community to the United Nations.
