the Administration is built.
Everything else must be subordinated to, and be made to serve and advance
the best interests of these elected custodians and promoters of the laws
of Baha'u'llah."

189: TEACHING

"The Cause of God is developing rapidly in the virgin areas of the
Crusade; but on the home front we seem to be not so successful. No doubt
this is due to the fact that the friends at home are not as diligently
taking advantage of every teaching opportunity as the pioneers do in
foreign lands. Success will crown the efforts of the friends on the home
front when they meditate on the teaching, pray fervently for divine
confirmations for their work, study the teachings so they may carry the
spirit to the seeker, and then act,--and above all persevere in action.
When these steps are followed, and the teaching work carried on
sacrificially and with devoted enthusiasm, the Faith will spread rapidly."

190: TEACHING (LOVE FOR BAHA'U'LLAH)

"...Without the spirit of real love for Baha'u'llah, for His Faith and its
Institutions, and the believers for each other, the Cause can never really
bring in large numbers of people. For it is not preaching any rules the
world wants, but love and action..."

191: TEACHING

"Shoghi Effendi would urge every Baha'i who feels the urge to exercise his
right of teaching unofficially the Cause, to keep in close touch with the
Local Spiritual Assembly of the locality in which he is working. The Local
Spiritual Assembly, while reserving for itself the right to control such
activities on the part of individual Baha'is, should do its utmost to
encourage such teachers and to put at their disposal whatever facilities
they would need in such circumstances. Should any differences arise, the
National Spiritual Assembly would naturally have to intervene and adjust
matters."

192: TEACHING (ADVENT OF DIVINE JUSTICE)

"In the matter of teaching, as repeatedly and emphatically stated,
particularly in his 'Advent of Divine Justice', the Guardian does not wish
the believers to make the slightest discrimination, even though this may
result in provoking opposition or criticism from any individual, class or
institution. The Call of Baha'u'llah, being universal, should be addressed
with equal force to all the peoples, classes and nations of the world,
irrespective of any religious, racial, political or class distinction or
difference..."
