Shoghi Effendi, the beloved of our hearts, said: “The
progress of the Cause depends upon two factors: one is the effort of the
believers; the other is God’s own ways that are independent of our efforts.”
And then he continued that according to the words and warnings of the Master
God’s way was through a quotidian of suffering that would force humanity to the
healing and redemptive laws of Baha’u’llah.
