Knowledge, purity, devotion, discipline, independence, have nothing to do with outer appearance and dress. Once in the course of my travels I heard an eminent personage make the following excellent remark, the wit and charm of which remain in memory: “Not every cleric’s turban is a proof of continence and knowledge; not every layman’s hat a sign of ignorance and immorality. How many a hat has proudly raised the banner of knowledge, how many a turban pulled down the Law of God!” – Abdu’l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization, pp. 58-59.
