The Guardian was also pleased to know of your deep interest
in music, and of your desire to serve the Faith along this line. Although now
is only the very beginning of Bahá'í art, yet the friends who feel they are
gifted in such matters should endeavour to develop and cultivate their gifts
and through their works to reflect, however inadequately, the Divine Spirit
which Bahá'u'lláh has breathed into the world.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 4 November 1937, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an
individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. III, The Importance of Arts
in Promoting the Faith)
