…every believer must continually study the sacred Writings
and the instructions of the beloved Guardian, striving always to attain a new
and better understanding of their import to him and to his society. He should
pray fervently for Divine Guidance, wisdom and strength to do what is pleasing
to God, and to serve Him at all times and to the best of his ability.

Life)
