...Peace of
mind is gained by the centering of the spiritual consciousness on the Prophet
of God; therefore you should study the spiritual Teachings, and receive the
Water of Life from the Holy Utterances. Then by translating these high ideals
into action, your entire character will be changed, and your mind will not only
find peace, but your entire being will find joy and enthusiasm.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a
letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, October
15, 1952; compilation: ‘Lights of Guidance’)
