If the friends will forget all personal differences and open
their hearts to a great love for each other for the sake of Bahá'u'lláh, they

National Spiritual Assembly should do all in its power to foster unity among
the believers, and to educate them in the Administration as this is the channel
through which their community life must flow, and which, when properly
understood and practised, will enable the work of the Cause to go ahead by
leaps and bounds.
(From a letter dated 26 October 1943 written on behalf of
Shoghi Effendi to the National Spiritual Assembly of India and Burma; The Compilation
of Compilations vol. II)
