1933-08-XX to Youth Committee regarding Baha’i Youth
USBN #79 - November 1933 - page 6
"There are two important points which Shoghi Effendi would like you always
to emphasize. In the first place he would strongly urge you to cooperate, heart
and soul, with all the various Assemblies, groups and committees throughout the
Baha'i world, to ask for their assistance and help for the successful discharge of
your duties and obligations, and in this way to try to build up an active and
ready mind among the Baha'i youth throughout the world. In other words, you should
not confine your activities to the national sphere but you should strive to create
under the supervision of your N.S.A. an international body of active young Baha'i
men and women who, conscious of their manifold and sacred responsibilities, will
unanimously arise to spread the Holy Word. The second point which the Guardian
wishes you to stress and to keep always in mind is the necessity for every loyal
and active member of your committee to fully concentrate on the thorough study and
understanding of the spiritual and administrative principles of the Faith, as a
necessary step for active and fruitful teaching. You should first equip yourself
with the necessary amount of knowledge about the Cause, and then, and only then,
try to teach."
