Shoghi Effendi was delighted to hear of your conversation
with Sir .... How much he hopes to have such scholars obtain a true
understanding of the spirit and teaching of the Cause and arise to dissipate
that veil of misconceptions that is prejudicing the mind of the scholars in the
western world. The Cause is in great need for such competent and spiritually
minded men who after a thorough study of the Movement would share with the
world the fruit of their labours.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 11 March 1929 written on
behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. III, Scholarship)
