He urges you all, in your work for the Cause in your local Communities, to stress the need for the greatest love and unity amongst the Bahá’ís themselves. It is this love and spiritual solidarity that is so sadly lacking in the world today, and for which its people are starving. When they see within the Bahá’í Community the true spirit of brotherhood exemplified, they will turn to Bahá’u’lláh and embrace His Message.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 27 September 1947 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi; ‘The Light of Divine Guidance, vol. 1’)
