‘Abdu’l-Bahá once said… that we should use the Hidden Words
as a mirror—comparing our actions and thoughts with what is there revealed—and
if they did not match, so to speak, and fully reflect these Divine
Counsels—then we must change our actions and conduct until they were in perfect
harmony and agreement with these heavenly exhortations.

April 1927 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer;
‘Messages to Canada’)
