"The minds of the wise and learned are impotent to fathom the secrets of Thy handiwork." "The learned, one and all, stand aghast before the signs and tokens of Thy handiwork, while the wise find themselves, without exception, impotent to unravel the mystery of... the Manifestations." (pam 92- 3; pam 98- 9) (65:7)

"O ye seemingly fair yet inwardly foul! Ye are like clear but bitter water, which to outward seeming is crystal pure but which, when tested by the divine Assayer, not a drop is accepted. Yea, the sun beam falls alike upon the dust and the mirror, yet differ they in reflection even as doth the star from the earth: nay, immeasurable is the difference!" (Hwp 30) (65:9)

"We should, therefore, detach ourselves from the external forms and practice of religion. We must realize that these forms and practices, however beautiful, are but garments clothing the warm heart and living limbs of Divine truth." (Pt 136) (65:10)
