If thou wishest a discerning eye and seekest for a hearing
ear, set thou aside that which thou hast heard from fathers and ancestors, for
such things are imitation—and then seek for the truth with the utmost attention
until the divine confirmation may reach thee and the matter may be properly
disclosed unto thee.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2’)
