...Peace of mind is gained by the centering of the spiritual
consciousness on the Prophet of God; therefore you should study the spiritual
Teachings, and receive the Water of Life from the Holy Utterances. Then by
translating these high ideals into action, your entire character will be
changed, and your mind will not only find peace, but your entire being will
find joy and enthusiasm.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi
Effendi to an individual believer, October 15, 1952; compilation: ‘Lights of
Guidance’)
