The N.S.A. should, indeed, advise the believers to lessen
their correspondence with the Guardian. But under no circumstances it can
prevent them from writing to him. For this is a sacred right and a supreme
privilege which every believer can rightly claim to possess, as through it
alone he can get in direct touch with his Guardian. If individuals feel, after
the advice of the N.S.A. to lessen correspondence, an inner urge to write to
the Guardian they should not be prevented or discouraged.
- Shoghi Effendi (From
a letter dated January 3, 1936 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi; ‘Dawn of a
New Day’)
