Each one of us, if we look into our failures, is sure to
feel unworthy and despondent, and this feeling only frustrates our constructive
efforts and wastes time. The thing for us to focus on is the glory of the Cause
and the Power of Bahá’u’lláh which can make of a mere drop a surging sea!
- Shoghi Effendi (From
a letter dated 13 October 1947 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to the
National Spiritual Assembly of the British Isles, published in "Unfolding
Destiny: The Messages from the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith to the Bahá'í
Community of the British Isles")
