"Be not careless of the virtues with which ye have been endowed"

Here's an example of what I've been thinking about:

O friends! Be not careless of the virtues with which ye have been endowed, neither be neglectful of your high destiny. Suffer not your labors to be wasted through the vain imaginations which certain hearts have devised. Ye are the stars of the heaven of understanding, the breeze that stirreth at the break of day, the soft-flowing waters upon which must depend the very life of all men, the letters inscribed upon His sacred scroll. With the utmost unity, and in a spirit of perfect fellowship, exert yourselves, that ye may be enabled to achieve that which beseemeth this Day of God.

(Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 195)

"With the utmost unity, and in a spirit of perfect fellowship . . ."

That might include talking to each other about what we're doing.
