Letter of 24 February 1923 |
|
Your letter to Shoghi Effendi has been received and was read
by him with keen delight and satisfaction for it bespoke of the
new spirit of ardent devotion that has enkindled the hearts of the
faithful followers of Bahá, and of their loyal and active
endeavours in the path of service. Should the friends continue
in their labours of love and service their activities will yield
glorious results and they shall witness the realisation of the
promises of the Beloved regarding the spiritual achievements of
the friends in that land.
|
|
Shoghi Effendi is highly gratified and encouraged to know
that the friends have carried out so efficiently his directions
regarding the establishment of National and local Spiritual
Assemblies; and he feels confident that the co-ordinated and
unified efforts of its members, blessed by the unfailing assistance
and guidance of the Beloved Master, will mark the dawn of a
new era of spiritual activity and enlightenment.
|
|
He is very pleased to know that you are faithfully working
for peace and harmony amongst the friends; and he prays that
you may be blessed in your endeavours and be inspired and
guided to clear all misunderstandings that may arise; and may
help bring about that spirit of unity which is so essential to the
life and growth of the Cause. There is no doubt that difficulties
will always arise; but if met in the spirit of earnest and selfless
devotion and purity of motive all problems will be solved and
we shall emerge from every difficulty spiritually stronger and
wiser.
|
|
Shoghi Effendi wishes to extend to you his thanks for your
giving him the report of the activities of the friends there. He
will soon write a letter to the Assembly based on their report. He
wishes you to rest assured that his thoughts and prayers are with
you wishing you all success in your labours for the promulgation
of the Blessed Cause.
