Release of a Compilation on the

Importance of Deepening

13 January 1983

To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

353.1 At the request of the Universal House of Justice, and with the aim of fulfilling the goal assigned to all National Assemblies to pursue a program of spiritual enrichment designed to inspire and enlighten the friends regarding the Bahá’í way of life, the Research Department has prepared a compilation from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi on the importance of deepening our knowledge and understanding of the Faith.

353.2 It is hoped that the loving exhortations and guidelines given in these passages will kindle in the hearts of the believers a spark of longing to delve more deeply into the rich mine of the Writings of the Faith. Such efforts will undoubtedly be abundantly rewarded as the friends attain increased spirituality and understanding, aim at acquiring greater perfection, draw nearer to attracting the good pleasure of their Lord, and seek to become more effective promoters of the Cause of God.

353.3 A copy of this compilation is attached and the Universal House of Justice leaves it to your discretion to determine how best its contents may be shared with the friends under your jurisdiction.

With loving Bahá’í greetings

Department of the Secretariat
