Musings 10-15.3 - Confronting challenges; benefit of teachers; making contacts

15.3
Means are needed to connect with the people one meets. Means: Commonalities; characteristics of one's transactions (e.g. of a service or an item); shared experiences; genuine virtues one sees in the other (courtesy, care, helpfulness, attention, joyfulness, rectitude etc.). Watering the tree of world unity with the drops of one's fellowship.
So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.
[R]egard ye not one another as strangers...

- Bahá'u'lláh, WOB 203, Bahá'u'lláh 16

14.3
A learning situation - permitting experimentation - overseen by a dedicated teacher, must be among the most beneficial, life-transforming situations imaginable to one. God bless these teachers!

10.3
When facing difficulties and uncertainty, the benevolence of Providence always comes to one's aid (and does a better job than I myself can). Why fear a challenge?
