Bring Together the Hindus and Mohammedans |
Shoghi Effendi received your letter dated June 11th and
was very glad to see the result of the election of the National
Spiritual Assembly. He sincerely hopes that this year will
witness a great change and progress for the Cause in India. As
the friends are sincere in their love and devotion, the members
of the Assembly strong in their faith and unfailing in their
services, there is full assurance of an ultimate victory and final
settlement of the existing difficulties. Shoghi Effendi has great
hopes in you personally and trusts in your wise judgment,
watchful attentiveness and absolute assurance in the Cause you
serve. He wants me to assure you of his prayers.

He also hopes that the friends in India will do their very
best to bring together the Hindus and Mohammedans. In such
13
cases the friends can show their good-will, devotion to humanity,
and disinterestedness in the material result obtained. He will pray
that … Prof. Pritam Singh will be guided in this
undertaking and ably represent the spirit of the Cause as
well as its teachings. Being competent themselves and having
the necessary divine blessing and guidance it is sure that they
will achieve much. May be this will be a good chance for attracting
the attention of some of the prominent leaders to the
reality of the Cause.

I have written in person to the Bombay Assembly and
urged them most emphatically to support morally and
financially the National Assembly and the National Fund.
…We have to repeat and repeat over and over again until
the truth, the necessity and the urgency of our Beloved’s
instructions sink in the hearts and minds of the believers. I
am sure you will continue to remind the friends of their
primary obligations. Assuring you again of my prayers for
your success in your high endeavours.
