Again, 'Abdu'l-Baha says: - Among the teachings of Baha'u'llah is one requiring man, under all conditions and circumstances, to be forgiving, to love his enemy and to consider an ill- wisher as a well- wisher. Not that one should consider another as an enemy and then put up with him .. and be forbearing toward him. This is hypocrisy and not real love. Nay, rather, you must see your enemies as friends, your ill- wishers as well- wishers and treat them accordingly. Your love and kindness must be real .. not merely forbearance, for forbearance, if not of the heart, is hypocrisy
(56:5)
