Gleanings — Paragraph 540
Source (Arabic)
انسان طلسم اعظم است ولکن عدم تربیت او را از آنچه با او است محروم نموده بیک کلمه خلق فرمود و بکلمهٴ اخری بمقام تعلیم هدایت نمود و بکلمهٴ دیگر مراتب و مقاماتش را حفظ فرمود حضرت موجود میفرماید انسان را بمثابهٴ معدن که دارای احجار کریمه است مشاهده نما بتربیت جواهر آن بعرصهٴ شهود آید و عالم انسانی از آن منتفع گردد انتهی
Translation
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.
