N1  - Letter on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, 4 October 1950, Unfolding Destiny, pp. 457-8 (see also partial text in Lights of Guidance, extract 1341), quoted in Hooper Dunbar's book Companion to the Study of the Kitáb-i-Íqán, reference 293, in relation to the phrase "He [the true seeker] must so cleanse his heart that no remnant of either love or hate may linger therein...", KI ¶213.   The talk of 'Abdu'l-Bahá to the Theosophists in Budapest, mentioned in the last paragraph, may refer to this talk on 11 April 1913 (ABU1402; unauthorized translation in the 1923 publication Bahá'í Scriptures, p. 300).
