For we, the followers of the Blessed Beauty, should all be
engaged in the service of the Cause of God, and become sources of guidance to
humanity. Thou shouldst, if thou deemest it advisable and possible, proceed
forthwith to organize a meeting of dignitaries. And when thy distinguished
guests have assembled, speak to them about the Cause. Thou shouldst likewise
advise the friends to arrange for another meeting with these same persons to be
held one evening and to be addressed by them. This is a great service that I am
entrusting to thee, and I pray to God that He may grant thee His assistance and
confirmation, and bestow His blessings upon thy family.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a
Tablet to an individual believer - translated from the Persian; The Compilation
of Compilations, vol. II, Teaching Prominent People)
