…the full meaning of the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Bahá,
as well as an understanding of the implications of the World Order ushered in

after the Universal House of Justice has come into being. The friends are
called upon to trust to time and to await the guidance of the Universal House
of Justice, which, as circumstances require, will make pronouncements that will
resolve and clarify obscure matters.

letter dated 9 March 1965; ‘Messages from the Universal House of Justice,
1963-1986’)
