Man as a mine rich in gems . . .

October 2012’s ‘thought for the month’:

“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….”From Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, Sec. 122, pp. 259–60) [4]

The Bahá’í Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent religions. Among the many Bahá’í principles are the following:

the unity of the races and elimination of prejudice, the equality of women and men, universal education, the elimination of extremes of wealth and poverty, a spiritual solution to economic problems, the harmony of science and religion, the independent investigation of truth, the creation of a world commonwealth of nations that will keep the peace through collective security.
