How often the beloved Master was heard to say. Should each
one of the friends take upon himself to carry out, in all its integrity and
implications, only one of the teachings of the Faith, with devotion,
detachment, constancy and perseverance and exemplify it in all his deeds and
pursuits of life, the world would become another world and the face of the
earth would mirror forth the splendours of the Abha Paradise.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 12 January 1923 to the
Bahá'ís of Persia - translated from the Persian; The Compilation of
Compilations, Vol. II, Living the Life)
