I read somewhere that when He was in Paris, Henri Bergson came to visit
Him and asked Him two questions and left satisfied. Bergson asked Him what
the aim of the Baha'i Faith was and He answered oneness of mankind; he
then asked Him how He thought humanity would come to that goal and He is
purported to have said something like: "by independent investigation of
truth". I have absolutely no idea where I read this story, though. Sorry.
Respectful and warm Baha'i regards,
Iskandar
