Advice to keep in mind when teaching the Cause of God: “…Christ said that whenever you wish to talk do not think about it, the Holy Spirit will inspire you.”

Moreover, everything is limited except the bounty of God and this bounty descends upon man through teaching the Cause of God; then divine inspiration will assist him. It is for this reason that Christ said that whenever you wish to talk do not think about it, the Holy Spirit will inspire you. If you desire eternal honor, everlasting life and heavenly exaltation, then teach the Cause. Divine confirmations shall attend you; this has been experienced. But it calls for firmness and steadfastness. Consider the disciples of Christ and observe with what firmness they arose until the Cause of God advanced. They even sacrificed their lives for this. (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, October 24, 1912, Oakland, California; Mahmud’s Diary)
