Letter of June 19, 1941 181 |
|
The Guardian feels that the role of Baha’i youth in these
days is becoming increasingly important, and that your Committee,
as well as all local youth committees, should do all in
your power to encourage the Baha’i young people to a greater
activity and sense of responsibility. In the field of teaching, in
pioneer service and settlement, in the administration of the
Cause, they must increasingly take an active part, as upon these
same youth will devolve the many and heavy responsibilities of
the future when the Baha’is will be called upon to demonstrate
to their fellow-men the perfection of Baha’u’llah’s laws and
World Order in such a manner that bewildered humanity will
turn to them as their only refuge.

I was greatly cheered and heartened by the expressions of
devotion, determination and loyalty conveyed in the welcome
message enclosed in your letter, attesting the significant
spirit that animates the Baha’i youth of India. They
are indeed the object of my unfailing solicitude and of my
ardent and constant prayers. I feel proud of the work which
they are so strenuously promoting. Baha’u’llah is indeed
well pleased with them, and our Beloved Master will no
doubt reinforce their labours. May their work prosper, and
their numbers increase, and their influence extend and their
enterprises be consolidated and their highest hopes be
fulfilled.
