…the Writings of the Faith not only acknowledge that each individual has a God-given identity, but they also set out the means by which this identity can achieve its highest development and fulfilment. Baha’u’llah attests that through the Teachings of the Manifestation of God “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”.
