We beseech God to strengthen thee with His power, and enable
thee to recognize Him Who is the Source of all knowledge, that thou mayest
detach thyself from all human learning, for, “what would it profit any man to
strive after learning when he hath already found and recognized Him Who is the
Object of all knowledge?” Cleave to the Root of Knowledge, and to Him Who is
the Fountain thereof, that thou mayest find thyself independent of all who
claim to be well versed in human learning, and whose claim no clear proof, nor
the testimony of any enlightening book, can support.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings
from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
