There is a similar passage, but not identical, in Promulgation. Otherwise, I
have no idea where the verse in question may have come from. The standards
for inclusion were apparently not very clear in "Baha'i Scriptures".

Other wars are caused by purely imaginary racial differences; for humanity
is one kind, one race and progeny, inhabiting the same globe. In the
creative plan there is no racial distinction and separation such as
Frenchman, Englishman, American, German, Italian or Spaniard; all belong to
one household. These boundaries and distinctions are human and artificial,
not natural and original. All mankind are the fruits of one tree, flowers of
the same garden, waves of one sea. In the animal kingdom no such distinction
and separation are observed.
(Abdu'l-Baha, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 118)
Here is the text of Message 157007:
Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2006 21:00:01 -0000
From: "Larry Marquardt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: All are the leaves of one tree...
Regarding this verse,
"There is no difference as regards creation and kind; all belong to one
household; all are the leaves of one tree; all are the fruits of one
branch; all are the flowers of the same garden; all are the waves of the
same sea".
(Compilations, Baha'i Scriptures, p. 313)
Paragraph #633.
Does anyone know the source of this verse? Is this from a talk/tablet by
'Abdul-Baha? Are these the actual words of 'Abdul-Baha?
Thank you,
Larry
