God grant that one day it may become so; but it is still true, as in the days of Christ, that "strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." The gateway of spiritual birth, like the gateway of natural birth, admits men only one by one, and without encumbrances.

If, in the future, more people succeed in entering that way than in the past, it will not be because of any widening of the gate, but because of a greater disposition on the part of men to make the "great surrender" which God demands; because long and bitter experience has at last brought them to see the folly of choosing their own way instead of God's way.
Search After Truth Baha'u'llah enjoins justice on all His followers and defines it as:--"The freedom of man from superstition and imitation, so that he may discern the Manifestations of God with the eyes of Oneness, and consider all affairs with keen sight."-- Words of Wisdom.
It is necessary that each individual should see and realize for himself the Glory of God manifest in the human temple of Baha'u'llah, otherwise the Baha'i faith would be for him but a name without meaning.

The call of the Prophets to mankind has always been that men should open their eyes, not shut them, use their reason, not suppress it.

It is clear seeing and free thinking, not servile credulity, that will enable them to penetrate the clouds of prejudice, to shake off the fetters of blind imitation, and attain to the realization of the truth of a new Revelation.
He who would be a Baha'i needs to be a fearless seeker after truth, but he should not confine his search to the material plane.

His spiritual perceptive powers should be awake as well as his physical.
