“In connection with your teaching work: What the Guardian
wishes you to particularly emphasize in all your talks is the
supreme necessity for all individuals and nations in this day to
adopt in its entirety the social program given by Bahá’u’lláh for
the reconstruction of the religious, economic and political life
of mankind. He wishes you to explain and analyze the elements
that help in raising this Divine World Order in the light of the
present-day events and conditions in the world. Special stress,
he feels, should be laid on the impending necessity of establishing
a super-national, and sovereign world state, as the one
described by Bahá’u’lláh. With the world becoming increasingly
subject to tumults and convulsions never experienced before,
the realization of such a necessity is entering into the consciousness
of not only the wise and learned, but of the common people
as well. The believers should, therefore, seize this opportunity
to make a supreme effort to present, in convincing and eloquent
language, those social and humanitarian teachings of the Faith
which we believe to constitute the sole panacea for the innumerable
ills afflicting our present-day world.”
