Wanderings

There are certain pillars which have been established as the unshakeable supports of the Faith of God. The mightiest of these is learning and the use of the mind, the expansion of consciousness, and insight into the realities of the universe and the hidden mysteries of Almighty God.

To promote knowledge is thus an inescapable duty imposed on every one of the friends of God.

~ Abdu’l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, p. 126

Education is a very important concept in the Baha’i Faith.  Through formal training and learning to use one’s mind effectively, the secrets and mysteries can be revealed.  Not only are we responsible to learn for ourselves, and for the benefit of our direct offspring, but to support and promote education for boys and girls all over the world.  Ensuring the access to education so that all children can learn and embark on their own journeys through the world’s knowledge and to interpret it for themselves is a core belief of the Baha’i Faith.
