...Your view that the Lesser Peace will come about through
the political efforts of the states and nations of the world, and independently
of any direct Bahá'í plan or effort, and the Most Great Peace established
through the instrumentality of the believers, and by the direct operation of
the laws and principles revealed by Bahá'u'lláh and the functioning of the
Universal House of Justice as the supreme organ of the Bahá'í super state — your
view on this subject is quite correct and in full accord with the
pronouncements of the Guardian as embodied in the "Unfoldment of World
Civilization".
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 14 March 1939 written on behalf of
Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; included in a letter dated June 17,
1987 written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual
believer)
