The members of the Spiritual Meeting (the Board of
Consultation) must endeavor, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to make the souls
real Bahais. If they attain this glorious purpose, that country will be
illumined and that land will become a veritable paradise, all nations will look
to that assembly and from the explanation and exposition thereof receive
realities and meanings.
