…the fundamental purpose of all religions -- including our
own -- is to bring man nearer to God, and to change his character, which is of
the utmost importance. Too much emphasis is often laid on the social and
economic aspects of the Teachings; but the moral aspect cannot be over-
emphasized.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 6 September 1946 written on behalf of Shoghi
Effendi to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, A
Chase and Holy Life)
