The members of the Baha’i Assemblies must be infinitely kind
towards each other and all their deliberations must be concerning the Kingdom
of Abha. Promiscuous discussion must be discountenanced, for these things will
become the means of the luke-warmness and apathy of those who are present. The
Candles of all the meetings must be the Mention of God, the propagation of the
Cause of God, the exposition of Divine Proofs and the elucidation of the
Principles of His Holiness Baha’u’llah. When this condition is obtained, the
meeting will become heavenly, celestial, godlike, illumined and the means of
the guidance of the erring ones. It will yield most great results.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 9, August 20, 1914)
