…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.”
