Baha’u’llah and the New Era

CHAPTER 9: TRUE CIVILIZATION
35/41

By this effective power all that is latent, of virtues and capacities in the human reality, will be revealed.
Character Training The thing of paramount importance in education is character training.

With regard to this, example is more effective than precept, and the lives and characters of the child's parents, teachers and habitual associates are factors of the utmost importance.
The Prophets of God are the great educators of mankind, and Their counsels and the story of Their lives should be instilled into the child's mind as soon as it is able to grasp them.

Especially important are the words of the Supreme Teacher, Baha'u'llah, Who reveals the root principles on which the civilization of the future must be built up.

He says:-- Teach your children what hath been revealed through the Pen of Glory.

Instruct them in what hath descended from the heaven of greatness and power.
