tag name: Rituals type: Miscellaneous; Religion, general web link: bahai-library.com/tags/Rituals Inventory subject: Religious rituals minimized or eliminated notes: "Bahá’u’lláh has reduced all ritual and form to an absolute minimum in His Faith. The few forms that there are—like those associated with the two longer obligatory daily prayers—are only symbols of the inner attitude. There is a wisdom in them, and a great blessing, but we cannot force ourselves to understand or feel these things, that is why He gave us also the very short and simple prayer, for those who did not feel the desire to perform the acts associated with the other two."
– from a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, dated 24 June 1949, cited in The Importance of Prayer, Meditation and the Devotional Attitude
