Shoghi Effendi was very glad to hear that you are planning
to study Persian very seriously. Should you do it you will obtain ample reward
for your labours, for you will then be able to go straight to the writings
themselves. - Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 14 January 1932 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; ‘The Light of Divine Guidance’, vol. 2)
