Classes are only vestiges of primitive societies:
Top leaders, officials, middle class, unprivileged masses.
There was no hope for kids of the fourth category
to be transformed into the first one.
Today all such outdated barriers have been removed
by new thinking, new means of communications, new
understanding about the reality of human beings.
We are equally all rational beings, who cannot decide
their birth, but can decide their place in societies.
The transformation is clearest in early religious communities.
Even the Prophet behaves as an equal among His believers,
and no barriers separate believers among themselves.
Then classes were restored afterwards by corrupted leadrers.
And today, in almost all societies, classes have become
more and more some sorts of prejudices.
Leaders are no longer people of the high class, but they are
only temporary representatives in their office terms.
Moreover, human dignity, is known by personal virtues,
more than by social position or possession.
Yes, today, we all belong to one class of human beings.
Each individual develops his excellence for servitude,
and no longer for leadership or earthly privileges.

New Addition For This Post
Abdul-Baha says:
Our greatest efforts must be directed towards detachment from the things of the world; we must strive to become more spiritual, more luminous, to follow the counsel of the Divine Teaching, to serve the cause of unity and true equality, to be merciful, to reflect the love of the Highest on all men, so that the light of the Spirit shall be apparent in all our deeds, to the end that all humanity shall be united, the stormy sea thereof calmed, and all rough waves disappear from off the surface of life’s ocean henceforth unruffled and peaceful. Then will the New Jerusalem be seen by mankind, who will enter through its gates and receive the Divine Bounty.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 87)
HAIKU
We are all one race
Truly equal before God
In love unity
