How to attain spirituality is, indeed, a question to which
every young man and woman must sooner or later try to find a satisfactory
answer. It is precisely because no such satisfactory reply has been given or
found, that modern youth finds itself bewildered, and is being consequently
carried away by the materialistic forces that are so powerfully undermining the
foundation of man's moral and spiritual life.

of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer on 8 December 1935, quoted by the
Universal House of Justice in a letter dated 12 June 1984 written on its behalf
to an individual believer; ‘Messages from the Universal House of Justice
1963-1986’)
