You Bahá’í children and young people have both great privileges and
great obligations ahead of you, for your generation will be the ones to help
build up a new, better and more beautiful world after the dark years of this
war are passed. You should prepare yourselves for this great task by trying to
grasp the true meaning of the teachings and not just merely accepting them as
something you are taught. They are like a wonderful new world of thought just
beginning to be explored, and when we realize that Bahá’u’lláh has brought
teachings and laws for a thousand years to come, we can readily see that each
new generation may find some greater meaning in the writings than the ones gone
before did.
