The members of the Spiritual Meeting must endeavor, by the
power of the Holy Spirit, to make the souls real Bahá'ís. If they attain this
glorious purpose, that country will be illumined and that land will become a
veritable paradise, all nations will look to that assembly and from the
explanation and exposition thereof receive realities and meanings.
