Letter of 15 April 19491 |
As he has cabled the N.S.A. a few days ago, he feels that the
difficulties which have arisen in Germany, and which called forth
the letter you rightly felt was likely to cause more harm than
good, are mainly due to the fact that the believers need to be
deepened in their knowledge and appreciation of the Covenants
of both Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. This is the stronghold of
the Faith of every Bahá’í, and that which enables him to withstand
every test and the attacks of the enemies outside the Faith,
and the far more dangerous, insidious, lukewarm people inside
the Faith who have no real attachment to the Covenant, and
consequently uphold the intellectual aspect of the teachings while
at the same time undermining the spiritual foundation upon
which the whole Cause of God rests.

He feels you and your dear family should do all you can to teach
the believers the Will and Testament to strengthen their
understanding of its important provisions; for all the authority of
the administrative bodies, as well as of the Guardian himself, is
mainly derived from this tremendous document.
