Ruhi Book 8

It is encouraged for tutors to order Book 8 for all participants in their study circle. The Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh The Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh is His Supreme gift to humanity. Its treatment here, though unavoidably inadequate, singles out this book as one that surpasses in significance all others in the Ruhi Institute's sequence of courses. One central aim of the entire course is to increase the awareness of participants of the unifying power inherent in Bahá'u'lláh's Covenant, to reflect on the nature and magnitude of this power as expressed in 'Abdu'l-Bahá's statement, "The pivot of the oneness of mankind is nothing else but the power of the Covenant." Such reflection will assist them in gaining insights into the far-reaching implications of the principle of the oneness of humankind for the development of the Cause and for the progress of humanity, a principle that will be realised through the power of the Covenant and will be woven into the pattern of the new World Order conceived by Bahá'u'lláh.
