The great thing is to "live the life"--to have our
lives so saturated with the Divine teachings and the Bahá'í Spirit that people
cannot fail to see a joy, a power, a love, a purity, a radiance, an efficiency
in our character and work that will distinguish us from worldly-minded people
and make people wonder what is the secret of this new life in us.

1925 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Living the Life)
