36/41 Let them memorize the Tablets of the Merciful and chant them with the most melodious voices in the halls of the Ma_sh_riqu'l-A_dh_kar. Baha'u'llah says:-- Knowledge is like unto wings for the being (of man) and is like a ladder for ascending. To acquire knowledge is incumbent upon all, but of those sciences which may profit the people of the earth, and not such sciences as being in mere words and end in mere words. The possessors of sciences and arts have a great right among the people of the world. Indeed, the real treasury of man is his knowledge. |
