Wisdom in application of God's laws
From Bahai9
Exercise tact and wisdom in observing laws of God[edit]
"Indeed, the laws of God are like unto the ocean and the children of men as fish, did they but know it. However, in observing them one must exercise tact and wisdom… Since most people are feeble and far-removed from the purpose of God, therefore one must observe tact and prudence under all conditions, so that nothing might happen that could cause disturbance and dissension or raise clamour among the heedless. Verily, His bounty hath surpassed the whole universe and His bestowals encompassed all that dwell on earth. One must guide mankind to the ocean of true understanding in a spirit of love and tolerance. The Kitáb-i-Aqdas itself beareth eloquent testimony to the loving providence of God."
- (Bahá'u'lláh, from a Tablet, quoted in the introduction to the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, p. 6)
