The House of Justice hopes that all the friends will
remember that the ultimate aim in life of every soul should be to attain
spiritual excellence - to win the good pleasure of God. The true spiritual
station of any soul is known only to God. It is quite a different thing from
the ranks and stations that men and women occupy in the various sectors of
society. Whoever has his eyes fixed on the goal of attaining the good pleasure
of God will accept with joy and radiant acquiescence whatever work or station
is assigned to him in the Cause of God, and will rejoice to serve Him under all
conditions.

Spiritual Assemblies; compilation: Lights of Guidance)
