Bahá’ís believe that the true nature of the human being is
spiritual and that following the Teachings of the Manifestation of God is the
key to developing one’s true potential. “Through the Teachings of this Day Star
of Truth,” Bahá’u’lláh states, “every man will advance and develop until he
attaineth the station at which he can manifest all the potential forces with
which his inmost true self hath been endowed.”
