As to the differences among human beings and the superiority
or inferiority of some individuals to others … The Manifestations of God …affirm
that differences are demonstrably and indisputably innate, and that "We
have caused some of you to excel others"[Qur'án 17:22] is a proven and
inescapable fact. It is certain that human beings are, by their very nature, different
one from the other. Observe a small group of children, born of the same
parents, attending the same school, receiving the same education, living on the
same diet: some, becoming well educated, will achieve a high degree of
advancement; some will reach a middle level; and some will not prove educable
at all. It is therefore clear that the disparity among individuals is due to
differences of degree which are innate. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a Tablet; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Baha’i Education)
