Ruhi Book 6
Teaching the Cause
People from every background are welcome to explore the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh and learn how they can apply them to better their lives. All Bahá’ís, then, share liberally and unconditionally the teachings and precepts of their Faith. Although the propagation of Bahá’u’lláh’s message is one of the most essential services to be rendered, teaching is also a natural expression of a state of being—a state in which one is moved to share with others the knowledge and joy one finds in His Revelation.

Teaching the Cause
People from every background are welcome to explore the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh and learn how they can apply them to better their lives. All Bahá’ís, then, share liberally and unconditionally the teachings and precepts of their Faith. Although the propagation of Bahá’u’lláh’s message is one of the most essential services to be rendered, teaching is also a natural expression of a state of being—a state in which one is moved to share with others the knowledge and joy one finds in His Revelation. This concept is explored in the first unit of Book 6, “The Spiritual Nature of Teaching”. It takes as its premise the understanding that “being” and “doing” are inseparable aspects of a spiritual life. The second and third units, “Qualities and Attitudes Essential for Teaching” and “The Act of Teaching”, take this premise further. The second unit considers how one’s inner state contributes to, and is strengthened by, one’s efforts in the field of service, while the third looks at how the act of teaching should be approached. Of particular significance is the example offered in the third unit, through the story of Anna and Emilia, of how to introduce the Faith to someone who knows little about it.
