Oneness of All Life |
The essential oneness of all the myriad forms and grades of
life is one of the fundamental teachings of Bahá’u’lláh. Our
physical health is so linked up with our mental, moral and
spiritual health, and also with the individual and social health
of our fellowmen, nay, even with the life of the animals and
plants, that each of these is affected by the others to a far
greater extent than is usually realized.

There is no command of the Prophet, therefore, to whatever
department of life it may primarily refer, which does not concern
bodily health. Certain of the teachings, however, have a
102
more direct bearing on physical health than others, and these
we may now proceed to examine.
