Apply the Teachings to improve some aspects of social or economic life of a population,

apply His teachings intelligently to the life of humanity.

…”Irrespective of its scope and scale, all social action seeks to apply the teachings and principles of the Faith to improve some aspect of the social or economic life of a population…”…Access to knowledge is the right of every human being….

Paragraph 29

…Only as effort is made to draw on insights from His Revelation, to tap into the accumulating knowledge of the human race, to apply His teachings intelligently to the life of humanity, and to consult on the questions that arise will be necessary learning occur and capacity be developed.

…an environment conducive to the spiritual empowerment of individuals, who will see themselves as active agents of their own learning, as protagonists of a constant effort to apply knowledge to effect individual and collective transformation. Failing this, no matter how many study circles are formed in clusters, the force necessary to propel change will not be generated.

Paragraph 11

Universal House of Justice, Ridvan Letter 2010

Apply knowledge to effectindividual and collective transformation

Friendships are formed, questions arise out of practice, purposeful discussions with people from every walk of life

12

…the urge to convert it into a formula overcome, it gives rise to a conversation between two souls- a conversation distinguished by the depth of understanding achieved and the nature of the relationship established…..the conversation continues beyond the initial encounter and veritable friendships are formed….a direct teaching effort of this kind can become the catalyst for an enduring process of spiritual transformation…

Paragraph 4…the task before the friends this coming year is to teach within one or more receptive populations, employing a direct method in their exposition of the fundamentals of the Faith.

Paragraph 6…there in the field of service, knowledge is tested, questions arise out of practice, and new levels of understanding are achieved.

Paragraph 9…the rise in capacity to teach the Faith directly and to enter into purposeful discussion on themes of spiritual import with people from every walk of life….

Gains contingent on qualitative progress, measured by the vitality of the spiritual and social life, consult on the questions that arise.

18

….While striving to increase the numbers of its participants, the institute as a structure…..must lay equal stress on the effectiveness of the system in its entirety, for, in the final analysis, sustained quantitative gains will be contingent on qualitative progress…..he or she should arrange periodic gatherings for them to reflect on their endeavors.

Paragraph 12…the Local Spiritual Assemblies….to mobilize the energies of the believers, and to forge an environment that is spiritually edifying….its strength must be measured, to a large extent, by the vitality of the spiritual and social life of the community it serves…Indeed, the Assembly’s proper involvement with the Plan becomes crucial to every attempt to embrace large numbers - itself a requisite for the manifestation of the full range of its powers and capacities.

Paragraph 22…Only as effort is made to draw on insights from His Revelation, to tap into the accumulating knowledge of the human race, to apply His teachings intelligently to the life of humanity, and to consult on the questions that arise will be necessary learning occur and capacity be developed.
