awakening his consciousness. To awaken one’s
consciousness, three things are required—study,
observation and intellectual exchange with other
people. Books are the greatest source of
knowledge, and studying them is always
beneficial. The world of nature is the greatest
source for observation. And in the matter of
intellectual learning, it is essential for man to form
the habit of learning from others, and continue in
this learning process.
In the case of married people, they are each
other’s immediate intellectual partners. From this
point of view, marriage is a great opportunity for
intellectual development, as both can interact
with each other and make progress together
intellectually. Intellectual development is essential
for everyone. Marriage offers an ideal opportunity
for intellectual partners, who are always available
for each other, to commune, with one another.
And to be successful in this venture there is one
condition—that is, to give intellectual
development top priority and to make it a part of
one’s daily life.
