People of the Bayan do not do any calculation, census[12][13] or any other registration of their followers since it can lead them to arising of some one position (religion or organization) that, in its instance, can lead them to confrontation with someone or something.[14][15] They also do not join to someone (do not consolidate with someone) in order to be not involved, unintentionally, into any squabbles and will not become against someone.[16] All those things are interpreted by others people (with religion or social orientated) for lack of or unreality of people of the Bayan, in better case, as depressive or unorganized.[17]
People of the Bayan are repressed (or are lowered) all over, where they become known[18] because of their religion or social unprotected and free position. But People of the Bayan themselves believe they cannot be lowered.[19]

Prayers together except of cases of death are prohibited for people of the Bayan.[20] They have conception about themselves as about Fellowship/Brotherhood/House of the Unity,[21] Confession of the Unity[22] and people of the Unity.
People of the Bayan respect all prophets for all history of mankind since they think that always the same prophet returns, Who in every religion cycle is manifested under different personal names, but always he has the same essence name.[23] Every time in every manifestation the Prophet[24][25] growing up for mankind of evolution of mankind.[26][27] Therefore People of the Bayan are thankful for all previous religions since they think that without them their religion would not be.[28]

So regard the things of God to infinity and give thanks to Him for every Effulgence which He hath sent forth in each Manifestation.”
