Abdu&#8217;l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 154

I was so glad when I first &#8216;got&#8217; the Baha&#8217;i concept of laws.  I&#8217;ve always said that I&#8217;m a Baha&#8217;i because the Baha&#8217;i Faith just makes so much intuitive [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Personal effort is indeed a vital prerequisite to the recognition and acceptance of the Cause of God. No matter how strong the measure of Divine grace, unless supplemented by personal, sustained and intelligent effort it cannot become fully effective and be of any real and abiding advantage.
From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi [...]<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[While making my way back home on a humid, muggy Friday, I passed by the local Baha&#8217;i Centre — well, not exactly passed by; upon realizing that it was packed with people, I stopped and walked in to say hello and to find out what was going on.

It is not sufficient to pray diligently for guidance, but this prayer must be followed by meditation as to the best methods of action and then action itself.
