The teaching work should under all conditions be
actively pursued by the believers because divine confirmations
are dependent upon it. Should a Bahá'í refrain from
being fully, vigorously and wholeheartedly involved in the
teaching work he will undoubtedly be deprived of the
blessings of the Abhá Kingdom. Even so, this activity
should be tempered with wisdom--not that wisdom which
requireth one to be silent and forgetful of such an obligation,
but rather that which requireth one to display divine
tolerance, love, kindness, patience, a goodly character, and
holy deeds. In brief, encourage the friends individually to
teach the Cause of God and draw their attention to this
meaning of wisdom mentioned in the Writings, which is
itself the essence of teaching the Faith--but all this to be
done with the greatest tolerance, so that heavenly assistance
and divine confirmation may aid the friends.
