According to the explicit divine Text, teaching the children is indispensable and obligatory. It followeth that teachers are servants of the Lord God, since they have arisen to perform this task, which is the same as worship. You must therefore offer praise with every breath, for you are educating your spiritual children
(‘Abdu’l‐Bahá, Compilation on Education)
Blessed is the spot, and the house,
and the place, and the city, and the heart, and the mountain,
and the refuge, and the cave, and the valley, and the land,
and the sea, and the island, and the meadow where mention
of God hath been made, and His praise glorified
Bahá’u’lláh
O Lord! I am a child...
O Lord! I am a child; enable me to grow beneath the shadow of Thy loving-kindness. I am a tender plant; cause me to be nurtured through the outpourings of the clouds of Thy bounty. I am a sapling of the garden of love; make me into a fruitful tree.
Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful, and Thou art the All-Loving, the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing.
