There are certain pillars which have been established
as the unshakeable supports of the Faith of God. The
mightiest of these is learning and the use of the mind, the
expansion of consciousness, and insight into the realities of
the universe and the hidden mysteries of Almighty God.
To promote knowledge is thus an inescapable duty
imposed on every one of the friends of God. It is incumbent
upon that Spiritual Assembly, that assemblage of God, to
exert every effort to educate the children, so that from
infancy they will be trained in Bahá'í conduct and the ways
of God, and will, even as young plants, thrive and flourish
in the soft-flowing waters that are the counsels and admonitions
of the Blessed Beauty.
