The two factors influencing the progress of the Cause

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.
