This lecture presents the Baha'i perspective on child-rearing and community life. It teaches that children are "treasure houses" endowed with God-given capacities that parents and educators must discover and refine without coercion. Order is central, illustrated through a jigsaw puzzle and a story about a miniature universe, showing that order implies a creator and purpose. It offers a positive, three-stage view of life—opportunity in youth, achievement in maturity, and joyful reflection in old age—contrasting pessimistic philosophies. It underscores the grave responsibility of parents for their children's spiritual education, emphasizing prayer and unity in the home. Finally, it strongly warns against the destructive effects of backbiting and individual interpretation, which can paralyze a community, using anecdotes to show how disunity hinders spiritual progress.
