Priorities
The Guardian attaches the greatest importance to your work; and is delighted to see that you are carrying on your various projects with so much enthusiasm and devotion. It would be ideal if an offer, such as that made, could be accepted; but as the Cause has so many burdens to bear at this time, we are forced to do as ‘Abdu’l-Bahá said -- give up the important for the most important.

Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 8 Mulk 182 B.E.
Question - What is the reason that every one should mention every morning, ninety five times, the Greatest Name; i.e., Allah'u'Abhá! "It is only for mentioning the name of God, for to commemorate His Holy Name causes us to advance toward Him and to be more vigilant."
