Need for deep and broad familiarity with the teachings[edit]

Essential to be quite familiar with the writings or may otherwise be wrongly attributing our own views[edit]

"Shoghi Effendi was very glad to learn that you devote a considerable amount of your time to the study of the teachings. It is absolutely essential for those who desire to spread the movement to be quite familiar with the writings of Bahá'u'lláh and the Master. Without that knowledge we may be spreading our own views and wrongly attributing to them things that are the result of our imaginings."

(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Light of Divine Guidance, vol. 2, pp. 20-21)

Need for young Bahá'ís to become steeped in every branch of the teachings[edit]

"The importance of young Bahá'ís becoming thoroughly steeped in every branch of the teachings cannot be over-emphasized, as they have great teaching tasks ahead of them to accomplish."

(From a letter dated 24 December 1943 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, Importance of Deepening Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith, no. 138)
