absolute requirement for non-involvement in politics.

Mr. Mahmoudi spoke on the absolute requirement for non-involvement in politics. He said Baha’is have their own world plan and are interested in solving problems on a universal scale rather than piecemeal or nationally. Baha’is’ participation in politics in one country might work against Baha’is in another country, he said. Sometimes we do not understand Baha’u’llah’s wisdom, he said, but we obey His teachings out of love for Him and because of His station as a Manifestation of God.
