The lack of prejudice, (for the most part) the true altruism
of the pure scientist, is pretty well demonstrated, and to such people the
Faith, if properly presented, should have a great appeal; and moreover such
people could do tremendous things for the Cause if they joined it in numbers.
There is certainly a place in the Cause for outstanding
people, and we need more of them. But the administration must function on a
consultative basis, not leadership.
(From a letter dated 5 July 1947 written on behalf of Shoghi
Effendi; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Teaching Prominent People)
