Thou didst ask as to acquiring knowledge: read thou the
Books and Tablets of God, and the articles written to demonstrate the truth of
this Faith. Included among them are the Íqán, which hath been translated into
English, the works of Mírzá Abu’l-Fadl, and those of some others among the
believers. In the days to come a great number of holy Tablets and other sacred
writings will be translated, and thou shouldst read these as well. Likewise,
ask thou of God that the magnet of His love should draw unto thee the knowledge
of Him. Once a soul becometh holy in all things, purified, sanctified, the
gates of the knowledge of God will open wide before his eyes.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
