Undertow
The condition of the world is such today that it is like a great negative undertow trying to pull down all but the strongest and most firmly rooted. The friends should realize this and draw closer to each other, knowing that they form one spiritual family, closer to each other, in the sight of God, than those united by ties of blood.
- From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, 8 May, 1948, Source Unknown
