The veil of learning, which stopped the Rabbis of Jesus's time from recognizing Him also prevents today's divines from recognizing the new Revelation, "having weighed the testimony of God by the standard of their own knowledge, gleaned from the teachings of the leaders of their faith, and found it at variance with their limited understanding." "The most grievous of all veils is the veil of knowledge." It is the priests who, "clinging unto their own learning, as fashioned by their own fancies and desires, have denounced God's divine Message and Revelation." who "are wrapt in the densest veils of learning, and who, enmeshed by its obscurities, are lost in the wilds of error" (Baha'u'llah)-- it is they whom, in the words of the 'Qur'an' God "causeth to err through a knowledge." "Satisfied with the croaking of the crow and enamoured with the visage of the raven, they have renounced the melody of the nightingale and the charm of the rose." (Baha'u'llah).
