Letter of April 12, 1945
|
It pleased him greatly to see that there are so many active
Baha’i youth groups in India, and his heart was particularly rejoiced
to receive messages from such far-off centres as Kashmir
and Baluchistan, where, a few years ago, there were practically
no Baha’is at all!
|
He hopes that in the years that lie ahead of us—years of unrest,
of trouble; of transition for the whole world—that the
Baha’i youth will increasingly rise to meet the challenge of the
times, and to carry the Message of Baha’u’llah, through
both teaching and example, all over India and, indeed, Asia.
|
You who are at present in your teens, or twenties, must realize
that tomorrow, to a large extent, the burden of the Cause
will rest on your shoulders; you will have to be the administrators
and teachers and scholars of the Faith. Now is the time to
prepare yourselves for your future duties.
|
He hopes you will study the teachings deeply, their spiritual,
moral, and administrative precepts, and at the same time take
as active a part as possible in the life of your respective Baha’i
communities.
