“With greater and greater spiritual perception, they are
able to sense receptivity and recognize thirst for the vivifying waters of
Bahá’u’lláh’s message.” (The Universal House of Justice, 27 December 2005, to
the Conference of the Continental Boards of Counsellors)
“As a person cultivates the habit of study and deep
reflection upon the Creative Word, this process of transformation reveals
itself in an ability to express one’s understanding of profound concepts and to
explore spiritual reality in conversations of significance.” (The Universal
House of Justice, 29 Dec, 2015, to the Conference of the Continental Boards of
Counsellors)
Training one receives from Ruhi Book 6
“…the illustrative example in Book 6 of the Ruhi
Institute... it gives rise to a conversation between two souls—a conversation
distinguished by the depth of understanding achieved and the nature of the
relationship established”. (The Universal House of Justice, Ridván 2010)
“To the extent that the conversation continues beyond the
initial encounter and veritable friendships are formed, a direct teaching
effort of this kind can become a catalyst for an enduring process of spiritual
transformation.” (The Universal House of Justice, Ridván 2010)
“Whether the first contact with such newly found friends
elicits an invitation for them to enrol in the Bahá’í community or to
participate in one of its activities is not an overwhelming concern. More
important is that every soul feel welcome to join the community in contributing
to the betterment of society, commencing a path of service to humanity on
which, at the outset or further along, formal enrolment can occur.” (The
Universal House of Justice, Ridván 2010)
