When we see the condition the world is in today, we must
surely forget these utterly insignificant internal disturbances, and rush,
unitedly, to the rescue of humanity. You should urge your fellow-Baha'is to
take this point of view, and to support you in a strong effort to suppress
every critical thought and every harsh word, in order to let the spirit of
Baha'u'llah flow into the entire community, and unite it in, His love and in
His service.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an
individual believer, February 16, 1951; compilation: Living the Life;
