TRAINING OF CHILDREN

As to thy question concerning training children: It is incumbent upon thee

to nurture them from the breast of the love of God, to urge them towards

spiritual matters, to turn unto God and to acquire good manners, best

characteristics and praiseworthy virtues and qualities in the world of

humanity, and to study sciences with the utmost diligence; so that they

may become spiritual, heavenly and attracted to the fragrances of sanctity

from their childhood and be reared in a religious, spiritual and heavenly

training. Verily, I beg of God to confirm them therein.
