    An attempt will be made to review and discuss some of the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh on His grand vision for the unification of mankind and achievement of world unity as crystallized in His statement: "The earth is but one country and Mankind its Citizens." A remarkable progress toward the goal of world unity as foreseen by Bahá'u'lláh has been reached in two different fronts. The first being a systematic development of a growing and expanding unified Bahá'í community scattered around the world directly influenced by His message and led by His administration. The second series of progress in this direction has been reached in the society at large and indirectly influenced by His revelation. A brief review will be made of the progress made toward the achievement of unities mentioned in `Abdul-Bahá's tablet of Seven Candles with reference to the analysis of the Universal House of Justice in the "Century of Light".
