"The grandeur of the human state

is not that human beings can make complicated machines or conceptualize complex theories, but in that men and women are worthy of being addressed by God and being considered worthy of receiving His revelation and guidance. [...] To be human is to be capable of hearing the Word of God and being led back to Him.
-Seyyed Hossein Nasr, The Garden of Truth, pg. 16.
