If we learn to know exactly what is happiness and act with spiritual guidance, we will surely obtain it.
"So Bahá'u'lláh made the utmost efforts to educate [His people] and incite [them] to morality, the acquisition of the sciences and arts of all countries, kindly dealing with all the nations of the earth, desire for the welfare of all peoples, sociability, concord, obedience, submissiveness, instruction of [their] children, production of what is needful for the human race, and inauguration of true happiness for mankind; and He continually kept sending tracts of admonition to all parts, whereby a wonderful effect was produced. Some of these epistles have, after extreme search and inquiry, been examined, and some portions of them shall now be set down in writing.
All these epistles consisted of [exhortations to] purity of 42 morals, encouragement to good conduct, reprobation of certain individuals, and complaints of the seditious."
(Abdu'l-Baha, A Traveller's Narrative, p. 41)
