O ye servants of the Blessed Beauty!... It is clear that in
this day, confirmations from the unseen world are encompassing all those who
deliver the divine Message. Should the work of teaching lapse, these
confirmations would be entirely cut off, since it is impossible for the loved
ones of God to receive assistance unless they teach.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections
from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
