Man Is The Supreme Talisman Lack Of A

Sources: Gleanings From The Writings Of Baha'u'llah

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. If any man were to meditate on that which the

Scriptures, sent down from the heaven of God's holy Will, have revealed,

he would readily recognize that their purpose is that all men shall be

regarded as one soul, so that the seal bearing the words "The Kingdom

shall be God's" may be stamped on every heart, and the light of Divine

bounty, of grace, and mercy may envelop all mankind. The one true God,

exalted be His glory, hath wished nothing for Himself. The allegiance of

mankind profiteth Him not, neither doth its perversity harm Him. The Bird

of the Realm of Utterance voiceth continually this call: "All things have

I willed for thee, and thee, too, for thine own sake." If the learned and

worldly-wise men of this age were to allow mankind to inhale the fragrance

of fellowship and love, every understanding heart would apprehend the

meaning of true liberty, and discover the secret of undisturbed peace and

absolute composure. Were the earth to attain this station and be illumined

with its light it could then be truly said of it: "Thou shall see in it no

hollows or rising hills."
