Man is the supreme talisman

Man is the supreme Talisman. Lack of a proper education hath, however, deprived him of that which he doth inherently possess.

Through a word proceeding out of the mouth of God he was called into being;

by one word more he was guided to recognize the Source of his education;

by yet another word his station and destiny were safeguarded.

The Great Being saith:  Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value.  Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures

(Bahá’u’lláh:  Gleanings, CXXII)
