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. Work then with heart and
soul, loose your tongues to further this endeavour, sacrifice your possessions
so that the School of Ishqábád will ever advance in discipline and
order.
