Although I had never meant that my enquiry from you as to the reasons of
lack of progress of the Cause in India, should be asked from every
individual Baha'i, yet I am sure, our Guardian will be interested to know
the ideas and opinions of various sections of the friends both in India
and Burma.
The expression of our views in written form sometimes helps us to think
better and deeper and often brings various matters into proper
perspective, enabling us thereby to disregard what is extraneous and
unimportant. The answers to the question put forth, would, I feel, be
extremely valuable to the N.S.A. in India, and with the proper backing,
respect and support of the entire friends, they should not lose a minute
in an endeavour to remedy and inspire what ought not and what should be
done, in an effort to spread the Cause.
[From the Guardian:]
I trust that the forthcoming Convention will remedy most if not all the
present deficiencies in the Cause and lend an unprecedented impetus to the
progress of the Faith. The Teaching work should be stressed as it is the
Fountain-head from which all future blessings will flow. We must first and
foremost add to our small numbers, and introduce fresh blood into the
organic life of the community. I will specially supplicate this bounty for
the representative delegates to be assembled at Convention this year.
