We have reflected on the grandeur of Baha'u'llah's
Revelation and have seen how important it is for us to share His Word
with others. We understand fully that the joy of teaching is in the
act of sharing His Word. In order to maintain this joy we must be
detached from the things of this world, from the want of praise and
recognition, and be willing to exert effort and make sacrifices.
In the quotations below Baha'u'llah tells us that we should arise to
guide souls to His Cause. He assures us that, when we do so, the hosts
of divine inspiration descend upon us and assist us. Confident in the
unfailing assistance of Baha'u'llah, we should detach ourselves from
all things, be unrestrained as the wind, and spread the glad-tidings
of His Revelation in every direction. It is suggested that you end
this course by memorizing these
quotations.

"Gird up the loins of thine endeavor, that
haply thou mayest guide thy neighbor to the law of God, the Most
Merciful. Such an act, verily, excelleth all other acts in the sight
of God, the All-Possessing, the Most High."
"By the righteousness of God! Whoso openeth his lips in this Day and
maketh mention of the name of his Lord, the hosts of Divine
inspiration shall descend upon him from the heaven of My name, the
All-Knowing, the All-Wise."
"Whoso ariseth to teach Our Cause must needs detach himself from all
earthly things, and regard, at all times, the triumph of Our Faith as
his supreme objective."
"Be unrestrained as the wind, while carrying the Message of Him Who
hath caused the Dawn of Divine Guidance to break."
"When the victory arriveth, every man shall profess himself as
believer and shall hasten to the shelter of God's Faith. Happy are
they who in the days of world encompassing trials have stood fast in
the Cause and refused to swerve
from its truth."
"0 Son of Being! Make mention of Me on My earth, that in My heaven I
may
remember thee, thus shall Mine eyes and thine be solaced."
