47: "Between the truth which comes from God through His Prophets, and

Between the truth which comes from God through His Prophets, and the
glimmerings, often misunderstood and misinterpreted, of truth which come
from the philosophers and thinkers, there is an immense difference. We
must never, under any circumstances, confuse the two.
Baha'u'llah has said that learning can be the veil between the soul of man
and the eternal truth; in other words, between man and the knowledge of
God. We have seen that many people who become very advanced in the study
of modern physical sciences are led to deny God, and to deny His Prophets.
That does not mean that God and the Prophets have not existed and do not
exist. It only means that knowledge has become a veil between their hearts
and the light of God.
