Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 14 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
... بايد کلّ با يکديگر برفق و مدارا و محبّت سلوک نمايند و اگر نفسی از ادراک بعضی مراتب عاجز باشد يا نرسيده باشد بايد بکمال لطف و شفقت با او تکلّم نمايند و او را متذکّر کنند من دون آنکه در خود فضلی و علوّی مشاهده نمايند
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Show forbearance and benevolence and love to one another. Should anyone among you be incapable of grasping a certain truth, or be striving to comprehend it, show forth, when conversing with him, a spirit of extreme kindliness and goodwill. Help him to see and recognize the truth, without esteeming yourself to be, in the least, superior to him, or to be possessed of greater endowments.
