selected quotations
(authoritative sources)
These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts:

"... that you may investigate and study the Holy Scriptures word by word so that you may attain knowledge of the mysteries hidden therein. Be not satisfied with words, but seek to understand the spiritual meanings hidden in the heart of the words...
The divine Words are not to be taken according to their outer sense. They are symbolical and contain realities of spiritual meaning...
It is not the reading of the words that profits you; it is the understanding of their meanings..."

– 'Abdu'l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, talk no. 137, 3 December 1912 (ABU0523)
