O true companions! All humankind are as children in a school, and the
Dawning-Points of Light, the Sources of divine revelation, are the teachers,
wondrous and without peer. In the school of realities they educate these sons
and daughters, according to teachings from God, and foster them in the bosom of
grace, so that they may develop along every line, show forth the excellent
gifts and blessings of the Lord, and combine human perfections; that they may
advance in all aspects of human endeavour, whether outward or inward, hidden or
visible, material or spiritual, until they make of this mortal world a
wide-spread mirror, to reflect that other world which dieth not.
