Thinking and exercise of our free will, using our outer eyes and sight—which observe and register the material world and the outward reflections of realities, and through our power of vision and insight—that if developed and when utilized, inner realities and truths of the realm of universe and its every existent, including the hidden potential and latent gems within our own beings, could be discovered and perceived, we free ourselves from the captivity of ignorance, clean and unburden our wings from the soil and heavy weight of idleness and prejudices, lawlessness and futility, hate and envy; and thus polishing them with the burnish of true understanding, knowledge and learning, we spread them wide and high to soar forward and upward to the apex of progress and glory fit for and worthy of the nobility of the human creation.   

“Ye are even as the bird which soareth, with the full force of its mighty wings and with complete and joyous confidence, through the immensity of the heavens, until, impelled to satisfy its hunger, it turneth longingly to the water and clay of the earth below it, and, having been entrapped in the mesh of its desire, findeth itself impotent to resume its flight to the realms whence it came.  Powerless to shake off the burden weighing on its sullied wings, that bird, hitherto an inmate of the heavens, is now forced to seek a dwelling-place upon the dust. Wherefore, O My servants, defile not your wings with the clay of waywardness and vain desires, and suffer them not to be stained with the dust of envy and hate, that ye may not be hindered from soaring in the heavens of My divine knowledge.” (“Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah”, p. 327)
