The Glad Tidings of Baha'u'llah,pp. 74-75: They who are the beloved of God, in whatever place they gather and whomsoever they may meet, must evince, in their attitude toward God, and in the manner of their celebration of His praise and glory, such humility and submissiveness that every atom of the dust beneath their feet may attest the depth of their devotion. . . . Show forbearance and benevolence and love to one another. Should any one among you be incapableof grasping a certain truth, or be striving to comprehend it, show forth, when conversing with him, a spirit of extreme kindliness and good-will. . . .
Menachem Mendel Schneerson,Wisdom of the Rebbe.(p. 64): Love is not smothering someone with what you think is good for him; love is appreciating a person's individuality. Love requires the ultimate sensitivity to every person, beginning with your own family and extending into the world at large. This means transcending our narrow vision and learning to love everyone, regardless of his or her background, education, personality, or temperament.
