Dear Fariborz,
However, taken as a general mandate, one can interpret
whosoever ariseth for the triumph
of My cause can be interpreted as fellow believers as well.
I would agree with this. Again, with the qualification of
encouragement and support rather than serve. To be more
explicit: we
Thank you. It's getting clearer. Explain to me the nuances of "serve" as
compared to "encourage, support". I always understood service as a baha'i as to
help/assist an endeavor. This ,of course, IMO, can take a lot of different forms

Dearest Sandra,
Thanks for taking time out to look at this in detail.
1)I do agree that in the context of the address to a king it does not make
