...There are no set forms of meditation prescribed in the
teachings, no plan, as such, for inner development. The friends are urged - nay
enjoined - to pray, and they also should meditate, but the manner of doing the
latter is left entirely to the individual...
The inspiration received through meditation is of a nature
that one cannot measure or determine. God can inspire into our minds things
that we had no previous knowledge of, if He desires to do so.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter
dated January 25, 1943 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual
believer; compilation: ‘Lights of Guidance’)
