As to the fundamentals of teaching the Faith: know thou that delivering the
Message can be accomplished only through goodly deeds and spiritual
attributes, an utterance that is crystal clear and the happiness reflected
from the face of that one who is expounding the Teachings. It is essential
that the deeds of the teacher should attest the truth of his words. Such is
the state of whoso doth spread abroad the sweet savors of God and the
quality of him who is sincere in his faith.
