Bahá’u’lláh explains to Násiri’d-Dín Sháh that He didn’t study the “learning current amongst men”

The learning current amongst men I studied not; their schools I entered not. Ask of the city wherein I dwelt, that thou mayest be well assured that I am not of them who speak falsely. This is but a leaf which the winds of the will of thy Lord, the Almighty, the All-Praised, have stirred. Can it be still when the tempestuous winds are blowing? Nay, by Him Who is the Lord of all Names and Attributes! They move it as they list. 

- Bahá’u’lláh  (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Promised Day Is Come’)
