It is imperative to acquire the knowledge of divine proofs
and evidences, and to acquaint oneself with convincing testimonies which
demonstrate the revelation of God's resplendent Light. The study group thou
didst organize hath inspired much joy and happiness to the heart of
Abdu'l-Bahá. Thou must exert much effort and show forth perseverance and
constancy that, God willing, through the reviving breaths of His mercy, souls
may be so educated as to become like radiant candles shining in the assemblage
of divine knowledge and understanding. This matter is highly important. It is
binding on everyone and must be regarded as an obligation.
- ‘Abdu'l-Bahá (From
a Tablet, The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The Importance of Deepening
Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith)
