…Shoghi Effendi appears to suggest that awareness of the
Cause in the next world evolves and unfolds. For example, the following extract
from a letter dated 17 March 1940 written on behalf of the Guardian to a
believer whose father had recently passed away, provides the following
statement:
The Guardian ... wishes me to hasten to convey to you the
expression of his deepest sympathy in this grievous loss which you have come to
sustain. He will specially and earnestly pray for his departed soul that in the
realms of the spirit beyond it may receive such guidance as would enable it to
fully recognize and accept the Faith, and thereby attain abiding peace and
happiness. May the Beloved bless his spirit, and richly reward him for all the
help and assistance he extended to you in making the ... Summer School such an
attractive and prosperous Bahá'í Centre.
