Mr. Arbab quotes the Ridvan 1983 message of the House: “The growing maturity of a world-wide religious community which all these processes indicate is further evidenced in the reaching out, by a number of national communities, to the social and economic life of their countries, exemplified by the founding of tutorial schools, the inception of radio stations, the pursuit of rural development programs and the operation of medical and agricultural schemes. To these early beginnings must be added the undoubted skills acquired, as a result of the Iranian crisis, in dealing with international organizations, national governments and the mass media---the very elements of society with which it must increasingly collaborate toward the realization of peace on earth.
A wider horizon is opening before us, illumined by a growing and universal manifestation of the inherent potentialities of the Cause for ordering human affairs. In this light can be discerned not only our immediate tasks but, more dimly, new pursuits and undertakings upon which we must shortly become engaged.” At all levels we are devising new schemes, new methodologies; a great deal of innovative consultation is going on. We are all looking forward to see the fruits of this process. We need to sacrifice; we need to arise. The application of spiritual principles is required.
