To study the principles, and to try to live according to
them, are, therefore, the two essential mediums through which you can ensure
the development and progress of your inner spiritual life and of your outer
existence as well. May Bahá'u'lláh enable you to attain this high station, and
may He keep the torch of faith for ever burning in your heart!
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter
dated 2 November 1933 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual
believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Youth)
