This quote can be found in Promulgation of Universal
Peace p. 116. The text states that it is from a talk given by
Abdu'l-Baha 12 May 1912, at Meeting of International Peace
Forum, in the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church -
New York. Notes taken by Esther Foster.

All are the leaves of one tree...
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. Brent 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 - 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?

re: All are the leaves of one tree...
Thank you dear friends for your responses. Apparently this particular verse in question should be considered as a 'general' utterance by our beloved Master as stated in Compilations, Baha'i Scriptures and not a direct quote. The PUP references are of great assistance.
