Your comments concerning poverty emphasize the extent to
which society must change its attitudes before a solution to that social
problem can be found. It is not simply a matter of economics; the solution
deeply involves the adoption of spiritual principles at the grassroots as well
as among governments. It imposes upon the Bahá'ís a clear duty to teach the
Faith with unabating vigour.
