THE CENTER OF DECISION Regarding the establishment of the board of translation. This matter is yet a theory, but its realization depends upon many affairs which are far from attainment at present. Until these affairs are realized, the board of translation will not find an outward expression. (408:3) The most great work to accomplish is this: -- that ye must strive so that the believers of God in America may arise to union and concord. The most important feat in this day is harmony and agreement. No soul must interfere with another and no one must find fault with the rest. Praise be to God that all of them are believers in the Beauty of Abha, and Abdu'l-Baha is glad and happy on that account. But they must arise to perform good deeds according to divine instructions, so that they may guide the people with heavenly actions and manners: -- to such an extent that all the inhabitants of the world may draw conclusions from their behavior and deeds, that these persons are Baha'is. For the manifestation of such deeds and actions from anybody else except Baha'is is impossible and impracticable. (408:4) This is the foundation of the religion of God and the law of God! Blessed is the one who practices them!
(408:5)
