Whosoever and whatsoever meeting becometh a hindrance to the
diffusion of the Light of Faith, let the loved ones give them counsel and say:
“Of all the gifts of God the greatest is the gift of Teaching. It draweth unto
us the Grace of God and is our first obligation. Of such a gift how can we
deprive ourselves? Nay, our lives, our goods, our comforts, our rest, we offer
them all as a sacrifice for the Abhá Beauty and teach the Cause of God.”
Caution and prudence, however, must be observed even as recorded in the Book.
The veil must in no wise be suddenly rent asunder. The Glory of Glories rest
upon you. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
