Compilation making

From Bahai9

Though compilations ideally to separate Writings by Author, need not be adhered to strictly in educative topical compilations

"He sees no objection to your printing excerpts from his "Dispensation" and "God Passes By" in your compilation on the Covenant. Although he strongly feels that the Master's writings, the revealed Word of Bahá'u'lláh and the Báb, and his own writings should, out of respect for the difference in their relative stations, be published whenever possible in separate volumes, this must not be fanatically adhered to where an educative compilation on a certain subject is conceived."

(Shoghi Effendi, Unfolding Destiny, pp. 224-225)

Making of compilations for personal recitation encouraged for those who cannot memorize

"...the Five Year Plan calls for the friends to memorize selections from the Writings. If a believer finds it difficult to memorize, he may be encouraged to make for his own use a selection of extracts, however brief, which he could reread and enjoy at his own leisure, to satisfy his inner soul."

(Universal House of Justice, Compilation of Compilations, volume ii, p. 35)
