"The daily prayers are to be said each one for himself, aloud or silent
makes no difference. There is no congregational prayer except that for the
dead. We read healing and other prayers in our meetings, but the daily
prayer is a personal obligation, so someone else reading it is not quite
the same thing as saying it for yourself.
"If you find you need to visualize someone when you pray, think of the
Master. Through Him you can address Baha'u'llah. Gradually try to think of
the qualities of the Manifestation, and in that way a mental form will
fade out, for after all the body is not the thing, His Spirit is there and
is the essential, everlasting element."
