A task every Baha’i should “concentrate on”

We must concentrate
  • on perfecting our characters as individual Baha'is, and
  • on maturing our still embryonic, and as yet improperly understood World Order,
  • on spreading the Message, according to the provisions of the Divine Plan; and
  • on building a tightly knit worldwide Baha'i Community.
We are relatively few in numbers, and have such a precious, unique and responsible task to carry out. We must concentrate our full forces upon it.
