| The first
principle of Bahá'u'lláh is independent investigation of truth, that is, all the nations
of the world have to investigate after truth independently and turn their eyes from the
moribund blind imitations of the past ages entirely. Truth is one when it is independently
investigated, it does not accept division. Therefore the independent investigation of
truth will lead to the oneness of the world of humanity. |
-- Compilation, Japan

| The first is
the independent investigation of truth; for blind imitation of the past will stunt the
mind. But once every soul inquireth into truth, society will be freed from the darkness of
continually repeating the past. |
