He feels that in your contact with the believers and in
teaching new souls, you should help them obtain a full knowledge and
understanding of the Covenant and the Will and Testament. This will strengthen
them to meet every test, and to understand the nature of the spiritual disease
which afflicts those who turn against the Institutions of the Faith. These are,
indeed, times of testing and trial, for the whole world and for the believers,
too.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 15 August 1945 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to
an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The Importance
of Deepening Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith)
