New Assemblies of Hyderabad & Kotah |
|
The Guardian has written the new Hyderabad Assembly, and
he will indeed pray for their protection and blessing. They
are an important group in an important State, and he hopes
that your Assembly will render them every assistance and help
possible, in order to deepen them in the knowledge of the
teachings and in Faith.

The establishment of the Assembly of Kotah, no less than
that of Hyderabad, must be viewed in the light of another
milestone in the forward march of the Faith in India. The
Guardian would like you to convey to all the dear pioneers and
teachers whom you have enumerated in your letters, the expression
of his deep gratitude for, and appreciation of the
wonderful work they are doing. The believers of India, though
few in number in relation to the millions that form their nation,
99
are performing a service to their fellow-countrymen which in
the future will be seen in the true magnitude. Let them rest
assured and toil ceaselessly for the establishment of the Faith
which they serve, and which alone can ultimately heal the ills
of sorely-tried mankind.

The pioneer activities in which the friends in India are
so steadfastly, so energetically and so devotedly engaged, in
spite of the perils, the uncertainties and the stress of the
present hour, are a marvellous evidence of the indomitable
spirit that animates them in the service of the Cause of
Baha’u’llah. Perseverance is the magnet that will, in these
days, attract the promised blessings of the Almighty Author
of our beloved Faith. Unity and harmony constitute the
basis on which the structure of these activities can securely
rest. Self-sacrifice, audacity, undeviating adherence to the
essentials of the Faith, will reinforce that structure and
accelerate its rise. That the dear friends in India are
increasingly demonstrating the quality and depth of their
faith and the character and range of their accomplishments
is a source of intense satisfaction to me, and I will continue
to supplicate our Beloved to guide their steps, cheer their
hearts, illumine their understanding, and fulfil their highest
and noblest aspirations. He indeed is well pleased with
the record of their past services, and will, if they redouble
their efforts, enable them to achieve a signal victory.
