From Lights of Guidance (to categorize)[edit]

The Record of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá's Voice Should be Listened to with the Utmost Reverence[edit]

"…the friends to exercise restraint and caution in the use and distribution of the record of the Master's voice. In my view, it should be used only on special occasions and be listened to with the utmost reverence. The dignity of the Cause, I am sure, would suffer from too wide and indiscriminate use of one of the most precious relics of our departed Master."

(From a letter of Shoghi Effendi, November 26, 1923, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1829)

Viewing the Film of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá[edit]

"Regarding the use of the Master's film, the greatest care must be exercised lest we cheapen its value by too frequent and indiscriminate exhibition either amongst the believers or the non-Bahá’ís. Only on special occasions, such as important anniversaries, should the film be shown and its solemn sacred character should be duly emphasized."

(From a letter of Shoghi Effendi, February 28, 1928, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1830)
