It is the longing desire of Abdu'l- Baha to see each one of you accounted as the foremost professor in the academies, and in the school of inner significances, each one becoming a leader in wisdom. (141:1) 119. It is incumbent upon Baha'i children to surpass other children in the acquisition of sciences and arts, for they have been cradled in the grace of God. (141:2) Whatever other children learn in a year, let Baha'i children learn in a month. The heart of Abdu'l- Baha longeth, in its love, to find that Baha'i young people, each and all, are known throughout the world for their intellectual attainments. There is no question but that they will exert all their efforts, their energies, their sense of pride, to acquire the sciences and arts. (141:3) 120. O my dear children! Your letter was received. A degree of joy was attained that is beyond words or writing that, praise be to God, the power of the Kingdom of God hath trained such children who, from their early childhood, eagerly wish to acquire Baha'i education that they may, from the period of their childhood, engage in service to the world of humanity. (141:4) My highest wish and desire is that ye who are my children may be educated according to the teachings of Baha'u'llah and may receive a Baha'i training; that ye may each become a lighted candle in the world of humanity, may be devoted to the service of all mankind, may give up your rest and comfort, so that ye may become the cause of the tranquillity of the world of creation. (141:5) Such is my hope for you and I trust that ye may become the cause of my joy and gladness in the Kingdom of God.
(141:6)
