The
more we search for ourselves, the less likely we are to find ourselves; and the
more we search for God, and to serve our fellow-men, the more profoundly will
we become acquainted with ourselves, and the more inwardly assured. This is one
of the great spiritual laws of life.
(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual
believer, February
