How can we get the power to follow the right path?

By putting the teaching into practice power will be given. You know which
path to follow: you cannot be mistaken, for there's a great distinction
between God and evil, between Light and darkness, Truth and falsehood,
Love and hatred, Generosity and meanness, Education and ignorance, Faith
in God and superstition, good Laws and unjust laws.

Faith

How can one increase in faith?

You must strive. A child does not know, in learning he obtains knowledge.
search for Truth.

There are three kinds of Faith: first, that which is from tradition and

'Abdu'l-Baha said: It makes me happy to see all the believers in London.
