"O thou teacher of the children of the kingdom!..."

164

O thou teacher of the children of the kingdom!

165

Thou hast arisen to perform a service which would justly entitle thee to vaunt thyself over all the teachers on earth. For the teachers of this world make use of human education to develop the powers, whether spiritual or material, of humankind, whilst thou art training these young plants in the gardens of God according to the education of Heaven, and art giving them the lessons of the Kingdom.

166

The result of this kind of teaching will be that it will attract the blessings of God, and make manifest the perfections of man.

167

Hold thou fast to this kind of teaching, for the fruits of it will be very great. The children must, from their infancy, be raised to be spiritual and godly Bahá'ís. If such be their training, they will remain safe from every test.

168

(From a Tablet - translated from the Persian) [65]
