Significance of this Day and Its requirements
From: Daily
Verses of God
This is the Day in which God's most excellent favours have
been poured out upon men, the Day in which His most mighty grace hath been
infused into all created things. It is incumbent upon all the peoples of the
world to reconcile their differences, and, with perfect unity and peace, abide
beneath the shadow of the Tree of His care and loving-kindness. It behoveth
them to cleave to whatsoever will, in this Day, be conducive to the exaltation
of their stations, and to the promotion of their best interests....
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Bahá'u'lláh’; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Peace)

The “human soul” is that “all-unifying agency” that connects “the various organs and members, the parts and elements, that constitute the body of man”
By nature is meant those inherent properties and necessary
relations derived from the realities of things. And these realities of things,
though in the utmost diversity, are yet intimately connected one with the
other. For these diverse realities an all-unifying agency is needed that shall
link them all one to the other. For instance, the various organs and members,
the parts and elements, that constitute the body of man, though at variance,
are yet all connected one with the other by that all-unifying agency known as
the human soul, that causeth them to function in perfect harmony and with absolute
regularity, thus making the continuation of life possible. The human body,
however, is utterly unconscious of that all-unifying agency, and yet acteth
with regularity and dischargeth its functions according to its will.

The effect of "pure and goodly deeds"
The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure
and goodly deeds, through commendable and seemly conduct.
(Baha’u’llah, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of
Divine Justice’; Ruhi Book 1)

There exists a great Confirmation in the School of Tarbiat ...
There exists a great Confirmation in the School of Tarbiat
which is founded by the friends. Although at this moment it is observed but by
a few, yet it is assisted by the Almighty. If the believers of God display
generosity, that school will progress day by day in all its grades.
Encouragement and stimulus is necessary.
