Wanderings

Knowledge is love. Study, listen to exhortations, think, try to understand the wisdom and greatness of God. The soil must be fertilized before the seed can be sown.

~ Abdu’l-Baha, “Star of the West” Vol. 20, No. 10, p. 314

To the Baha’is, the Independent Investigation of Truth and devotion to studying the word of God are very important.  In order to learn and understand, to be true receptacles of such knowledge, we must become educated.  All Baha’is are asked to read something of the many volumes of authoritative texts every day.  There is no specified amount to satisfy this obligation—simply enough to cause the reader to pause, reflect and think about the wonders of God.
