The need is very great, everywhere in the world, in and
outside the Faith, for a true spiritual awareness to pervade and motivate
people's lives. No amount of administrative procedure or adherence to rules can
take the place of this soul-characteristic, this spirituality which is the
essence of Man. He is very glad to see you are stressing this and aiding the
friends to realize its supreme importance.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 25 April 1945
written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; The Compilation
of Compilations, vol. II, Living the Life)
