To deepen in the Cause means to read the writings of
Bahá'u'lláh and the Master so thoroughly as to be able to give it to others in
its pure form. There are many who have some superficial idea of what the Cause
stands for. They, therefore, present it together with all sorts of ideas that
are their own. As the Cause is still in its early days we must be careful lest
we fall under this error and injure the Movement we do so much adore.
There is no limit to the study of the Cause. The more we
read the writings the more truths we can find in them and the more we will see
that our previous notions were erroneous.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 25 April 1926
written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; The Compilation
of Compilations, vol. I, The Importance of Deepening Our Knowledge and
Understanding of the Faith)
