There is a great need for teaching the Cause at present; every Bahá'í should teach, and each one has his own capacities and can expect to reach certain souls who respond to his efforts… Every one is perforce only an instrument in giving the Message which is more or less coloured by his own capacities and approach to life. There is no harm in this.

behalf of Shoghi Effendi; The Compilation of Compilations, Vol. II, Writers and
Writing)
