You may be sure he will pray for the unity of the ...
believers, as this is of paramount importance, and upon it depends the development
of the Cause there, and the success of every teaching effort. The thing the
friends need--everywhere-- is a greater love for each other, and this can be
acquired by greater love for Bahá'u'lláh; for if we love Him deeply enough, we
will never allow personal feelings and opinions to hold His Cause back; we will
be willing to sacrifice ourselves to each other for the sake of the Faith, and
be, as the Master said, one soul in many bodies.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 5
September 1946 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer;
