What thou hadst written as to the school is a cause for great rejoicing,
and delighteth the heart. The friends one and all were cheered and refreshed
by this news.

This school is one of the vital and essential institutions which indeed
support and bulwark the edifice of humankind. God willing, it will develop and
be perfected along every line. Once this school hath, in every respect, been
perfected, once it hath been made to flourish and to surpass all other schools,
then, each following the other, more and more schools must be established.
|
Our meaning is that the friends must direct their attention toward the
education and training of all the children of Persia, so that all of them,
having, in the school of true learning, achieved the power of understanding and
come to know the inner realities of the universe, will go on to uncover the
signs and mysteries of God, and will find themselves illumined by the lights of
the knowledge of the Lord, and by His love. This truly is the very best way to
educate all peoples.
