While developing these things within the context of 1. the Great and Eternal Covenant of God [implying also recognision of new and successive revelations of God, 2. the Covenant of Bahá\'u'lláh [the latest Prophet or Manifestation of God], 3. the Covenant of our marriage and 4. our schooling and career, we build our lives on 4 pillars bearings these names. The higher we make our pillars, the higher the tympanum of our earthly and heavenly lives will be elevated above our foundation.
