Believe nothing merely because you have been told it, or because it is traditional, or because you have imagined it. But whatsoever after due examination, you find to be conducive to the good, the welfare of all beings--that doctrine believe and cling to as your guide. The gift of religion exceeds all gifts; the sweetness of religion exceeds all sweetness; the delight of religion exceeds all delights; the extinction of thirst overcomes all pain. Few are there among men who cross the river and reach the goal. The great multitudes are running up and down the shore; but there is no suffering for him who has crossed the river and finished his journey. The sayings of the Buddha, p59-60 O my friend! In all circumstances one should seize upon every means which will promote security and tranquility among the peoples of the world. The Great Being saith: In this glorious Day whatever will purge you from corruption and will lead you towards peace and composure, is indeed the Straight Path. Tablets of Bahaullah p171
