  1. 1983-09-01 —
      In a message addressed to the National Spiritual Assembly of Norway on the subject of meditation, the Universal House of Justice included a six-point summary of 'the essential requisites for our spiritual growth'. Written on behalf of the House of Justice, this significant letter expressed its confidence that if the believers practised the suggested disciplines they would penetrate the 'miasma of materialism' impeding the growth of the Faith in Europe. The suggestions have been gleaned from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh and were stressed again and again in the talks and Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá. The points were:
      1. The recital each day of one of the Obligatory Prayers with pure-hearted devotion.
      2. The regular reading of the Sacred Scriptures, specifically at least each morning and evening, with reverence, attention and thought.
      3. Prayerful meditation on the Teachings, so that we may understand them more deeply, fulfill them more faithfully, and convey them more accurately to others.
      4. Striving every day to bring our behavior more into accordance with the high standards that are set forth in the Teachings.
      5. Teaching the Cause of God.
      6. Selfless service in the work of the Cause and in the carrying on of our trade or profession.

      They also suggested that in their private meditation the believers use the repetition of the Greatest Name, Alláh-u-Abhá, ninety-five times a day which, although at that time it was not yet applied in the West, it was among the Laws, Ordinances and Exhortations of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas.
