…I most urgently request the friends of God to make every effort, as much
as lieth within their competence, along these lines. The harder they strive
to widen the scope of their knowledge, the better and more gratifying will be
the result. Let the loved ones of God, whether young or old, whether male or
female, each according to his capabilities, bestir themselves and spare no
efforts to acquire the various current branches of knowledge, both spiritual
and secular, and of the arts.
(From a Tablet, translated from the Arabic) [4]
