28 BAHÁ'Í WAY OF LIFE (The Strength of the Cause)
"It is good for the Bahá'ís to learn that being a Bahá'í is
essentially an inner thing, or way of life, and not dependent on
fixed patterns. Important as our organized Institutions are,
they are not the Faith itself. The strength of the Cause grows
no matter how much disrupted its activities may temporarily be.
This we see over and over again, in lands where the Faith
has been temporarily banned; at times when the believers are
persecuted and even killed; where they are serving all alone or
scattered and isolated. So it has been a stimulating experience
for the American believers to be without their schools for a few
years, rather than a depressing one."
