If you read the utterances of Bahá'u'lláh and `Abdu'l-Bahá
with selflessness and care and concentrate upon them, you will discover truths
unknown to you before and will obtain an insight into the problems that have
baffled the great thinkers of the world. God in His essence can not be
comprehended nor assume bodily form. We can only approach Him through the
knowledge of His Manifestations. I pray that you may drink deep of the
fountainhead of Their Sacred Teachings. I assure you of my prayers for your recovery
and success.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 30 January 1925 to an
individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The Importance of
Deepening Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith)
