Spiritual-Ethical-Religious defined[edit]

'Abdu'l-Bahá in Chapter 3 of Some Answered Questions, describes spiritual (or "divine") education (here, affairs) in the following terms: "Divine education is that of the Kingdom of God: it consists in acquiring divine perfections, and this is true education; for in this state man becomes the focus of divine blessings, the manifestation of the words, "Let Us make man in Our image, and after Our likeness." [Cf. Gen. 1:26.] This is the goal of the world of humanity."
