To strive to obtain a more
adequate understanding of the significance of Bahá'u'lláh's stupendous
Revelation must, it is my unalterable conviction, remain the first obligation
and the object of the constant endeavor of each one of its loyal adherents. An
exact and thorough comprehension of so vast a system, so sublime a revelation,
so sacred a trust, is for obvious reasons beyond the reach and ken of our
finite minds. We can, however, and it is our bounden duty to seek to derive
fresh inspiration and added sustenance as we labor for the propagation of His
Faith through a clearer apprehension of the truths it enshrines and the
principles on which it is based."
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated
February 8, 1934, ‘The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah’)
