Ancestors

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’)
