Importance of the Teaching Campaign |
The Guardian wishes me once again to stress the all-importance
of the teaching campaign throughout India and Burma.
Much as he is aware of the obstacles that stand in the way of
the expansion of pioneer teaching—obstacles which your sister
Assembly in the U.S.A. are far in a better position to overcome,
owing to the larger resources at their disposal and to their longer
and wider experience in matters of teaching—he nevertheless
strongly feels that, through the united, determined and passionate
resolve of your N.S.A., of all the local Assemblies,
groups and individuals, much can be accomplished in that
direction, and firm foundations laid down for future expansion
and consolidation. The greater your handicaps the firmer your
determination should wax, and the more abundant will assuredly
be the blessings and confirmations of Baha’u’llah. May His
love and guidance lead you and our dearly-beloved friends
in that land to still greater heights of selfless accomplishment in
His path, and thereby crown with success the Six-Year Plan so
ably devised and so energetically pursued by the N.S.A.

I wish to reassure you in person of my fervent and continued
prayers for the protection, the success and the spiritual
advancement of the community of the Indian and Burmese
believers who, under your direction, and stimulated by the
initiative and example, of their national elected representatives,
are arising, in these days of widespread confusion,
turmoil and danger, to carry out the Plan they are pledged
to fulfil. No sacrifice can be regarded as too great for the
attainment of so great and splendid an objective. They
should persevere in their task, undaunted by the rising tide
88
of calamity and despair which afflicts the world, and which
is mysteriously paving the way for its unification and ultimate
redemption. May the Beloved guide every step you take,
and bless every endeavour you exert in His path.
