11 |
Know thou, O handmaid, that in the sight of Bahá, women are accounted the
same as men, and God hath created all humankind in His own image, and after His
own likeness. That is, men and women alike are the revealers of His names and
attributes, and from the spiritual viewpoint there is no difference between
them. Whosoever draweth nearer to God, that one is the most favoured, whether
man or woman. How many a handmaid, ardent and devoted, hath, within the
sheltering shade of Bahá, proved superior to the men, and surpassed the
famous of the earth.
