The Most Important Thing is to Serve
|
The most important thing we know from the Teachings is
to serve. In carrying out the Plans of God we are strengthened,
blessed and purified; we attract the loving attention of Baha’u’llah;
our efforts are confirmed; and we are enabled through His
power to achieve great victories for His Faith.

He urges you, one and all, as one soul in many bodies, to
consecrate yourselves to fulfilling the objectives of the Ten-Year
Plan. He feels sure that when the proper unity and dedication
prevail in the National Body, it will be sensed by the mass of
the believers, and react upon their efforts. As Abdu’l-Baha said,
nothing is impossible if we have faith; and this must always be
the standard for all the Baha’is. As we have faith, so are our
powers and our blessings.

May the Almighty enable you to lend a fresh and unprecedented
impetus to the onward march of the Faith, revive the
spirit of its supporters, enlarge its limits, multiply its local
institutions, consolidate its foundations, safeguard its rights,
spread abroad its fame, and aid its followers to discharge
befittingly their responsibilities, and concentrate on the
attainment of the objectives of the Ten-Year Plan, on which
the immediate destiny of the entire community depends.
