When studying at school or university Bahá’í youth will often find
themselves in the unusual and slightly embarrassing position of having a
more profound insight into a subject than their instructors. The Teachings of
Bahá’u’lláh throw light on so many aspects of human life and knowledge that a
Bahá’í must learn, earlier than most, to weigh the information that is given
to him rather than to accept it blindly. A Bahá’í has the advantage of the
divine Revelation for this Age, which shines like a searchlight on so many
problems that baffle modern thinkers; he must therefore develop the ability
22
to learn everything from those around him, showing proper humility before his
teachers, but always relating what he hears to the Bahá’í teachings, for
they will enable him to sort out the gold from the dross of human error.
(10 June 1966 to Bahá’í Youth in every Land, published in “Wellspring of Guidance: Messages 1963–1968”, pp. 95–96) [62] |
