Rest assured that the breathings of the Holy Spirit will
loosen thy tongue. Speak, therefore; speak out with great courage at every
meeting. When thou art about to begin thine address, turn first to Bahá’u’lláh,
and ask for the confirmations of the Holy Spirit, then open thy lips and say
whatever is suggested to thy heart; this, however, with the utmost courage,
dignity and conviction. It is my hope that from day to day your gatherings will
grow and flourish, and that those who are seeking after truth will hearken
therein to reasoned arguments and conclusive proofs. I am with you heart and
soul at every meeting; be sure of this.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the
Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
