“The Great Being saith: Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value.”

— Bahá'u'lláh

Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh
Context: Man is the supreme Talisman. Lack of a proper education hath, however, deprived him of that which he doth inherently possess. Through a word proceeding out of the mouth of God he was called into being; by one word more he was guided to recognize the Source of his education; by yet another word his station and destiny were safeguarded. The Great Being saith: Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom. <!-- CXXII, pp. 259-260
