The thing the world needs today is the Bahá'í spirit. People
are craving for love, for a high standard to look up to, as well as for
solutions to their many grave problems. The Bahá'ís should shower on those whom
they meet the warm and living spirit of the Cause, and this, combined with
teaching, cannot but attract the sincere truth-seekers to the Faith.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a
letter dated 18 December 1943 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an
individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Living the Life)
