“The invisible battalions of the Concourse on High, are mustered, in
serried ranks, ready to rush their reinforcements to the aid of the
vanguard of Bahá’u’lláh’s crusaders in the hour of their greatest need,
and in anticipation of that Most Great, that Wondrous Jubilee in the
joyfulness of which both heaven and earth will partake.”
195: TEACHING (DIRECT)
“He approves of your desire to teach the principles of the Faith through
radio. But he urges you to do all you can to always, however small the
reference you are able to make to it may be, clearly identify or associate
what you are giving out with Bahá’u’lláh. The time is too short now for us
Bahá’ís to be able to first educate humanity and then tell it that the
source is this new World Faith. For their own spiritual protection people
must hear of the name Bahá’í--then, if they turn blindly away they cannot
excuse themselves by saying they never even knew it existed! For dark days
seem still ahead of the world, and outside this Divine Refuge the people
will not, we firmly believe, find inner conviction, peace and security. So
they have a right to at least hear of the Cause as such.”
196: TEACHING--DIVINE WORLD ORDER--THE SOLE PANACEA
“In connection with your teaching work: What the Guardian wishes you to
particularly emphasize in all your talks is the supreme necessity for all
individuals and nations in this day to adopt in its entirety the social
program given by Bahá’u’lláh for the reconstruction of the religious,
economic and political life of mankind. He wishes you to explain and
analyze the elements that help in raising this Divine World Order in the
light of the present-day events and conditions in the world. Special
stress, he feels, should be laid on the impending necessity of
establishing a super-national, and sovereign world state, as the one
described by Bahá’u’lláh. With the world becoming increasingly subject to
tumults and convulsions never experienced before, the realization of such
a necessity is entering into the consciousness of not only the wise and
learned, but of the common people as well. The believers should,
therefore, seize this opportunity to make a supreme effort to present, in
convincing and eloquent language, those social and humanitarian teachings
of the Faith which we believe to constitute the sole panacea for the
innumerable ills afflicting our present-day world.”
197: TEACHING (DUTY OF EVERY BELIEVER)
“Indeed to bring this message to mankind in its darkest hour of need is
the paramount duty of every believer. All the agony, the suffering,
privation and spiritual blindness afflicting people today everywhere in
the world, to a greater or lesser degree, is because they are unaware of,
or indifferent to, the Remedy God has sent them. Only those who are aware
of it can carry its healing knowledge to others, so that each Bahá’í has
an inescapable and sacred duty to perform.”
198: TEACHING (GIVE THE MESSAGE)
