Bahá’u’lláh has given us a Revelation designed to raise
mankind to heights never before attained. It is little wonder that the minds of
individual believers, no matter how perceptive, have difficulty in
comprehending its range. It is the words of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and the Guardian which
elucidate this vast Revelation and make clear the manner in which different
statements relate to one another and what is implied by the Revealed Word.
Without the bright light of the Covenant, this Faith, like all those before it,
would be torn to pieces by the conflicting opinions of scholars applying
limited human reasoning to divinely revealed truths.

House of Justice to an individual believer)
