His [Baha’u’llah’s] father was a court minister, not a
divine, and it is well known throughout Persia that He never studied in a
school or associated with the learned and the divines. He passed the early part
of His life in the utmost comfort and happiness, and His companions and
associates were Persians of rank rather than learned men.
