…the happiness and well-being of humanity depend upon…
cultivating human character and social order in conformity with reality. Divine
teachings shed light on reality, enabling every soul to investigate it properly
and to acquire, through the exercise of personal discipline, those attributes
that are to distinguish the human being. “Man should know his own self”,
Bahá’u’lláh states, “and recognize that which leadeth unto loftiness or
lowliness, glory or abasement, wealth or poverty.”
