At present people are too engulfed in hopes, events,
desires, and various partizanships, to realise that there is no way out for
humanity except to accept the Divine Plan for this Day, and put its healing
principles and laws into practice. But gradually their eyes will be opened, and
it is for this time that the friends must labour to bring the knowledge of the
Cause before as wide a public as possible.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 14 March 1942
written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; ‘Unfolding
Destiny’)
