…the friends must observe the specific times for the
remembrance of God, meditation, devotion and prayer, as it is highly unlikely,
nay impossible, for any enterprise to prosper and develop when deprived of
divine bestowals and confirmation.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 19 December 1923
written by Shoghi Effendi to the Bahá'ís of the East- translated from the
Persian; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Guidelines for Teaching)
