‎"All the meetings must be for teaching the Cause and spreading the message, and suffering the souls to enter into the Kingdom of Baha'u'llah.

Look at me.

All my thoughts are centered around the proclamation of the Kingdom.

I have a lamp in my hand searching through the lands and seas to find
souls who can become heralds of the Cause.

Day and night I am engaged in this work.

Any other deliberations in the meetings are futile and fruitless.

Convey the message!

Attract the hearts!

Sow the seeds!

Teach the Cause to those who do not know.

I enter all meetings, all churches, so that the Cause may be spread.

When the most important work is before our sight, we must let go the
important one.

If the meetings or Spiritual Assembly has any other occupation, the
time is spent in futility.

All the deliberations, all consultation, all the talks and addresses
must revolve around one focal center and that is: Teach the Cause!

Teach!

Teach!

Convey the message!

Awaken the souls!

Now is the time of laying the foundation.

Now we must gather brick, stone, wood, iron and other building materials!

This is not the time of decoration.

We must strive day and night and think and work.

What can I say that may become effective?

What can I do that may bring results?

What can I write that may bring forth fruits?

Nothing else will be useful today.

The interests of such a glorious Cause will not advance without
undivided attention.

While we are carrying this load we cannot carry any other load!"

- Abdu'l-Baha
