In truth thou art now rendering a great service to the basic
foundations of the Cause of God, inasmuch as the cornerstone of its structure
is the promotion of His Faith, the awakening of the people, the diffusion of
the divine teachings and the education of mankind, and all this dependeth on
instructing the friends in the teaching work. I beseech God that within a short
time thou mayest be able to acquaint the children of the Abhá Paradise with the
divine mysteries and truths and to rend asunder the veils of idle imaginings,
that each one of them become a fluent speaker and be able to guide many others
to the Cause of God. Then will the outpourings of the heavenly bounties become
manifest and the invisible hosts of the Kingdom, armed with conclusive proofs
and evidences, will conquer the realms of the inner realities and domains of
the hearts of men, even as a single seed developing into seven ears of grain.
- 'Abdu'l-Bahá (From a Tablet, The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The
Importance of Deepening Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith)
