The Master clearly
writes in a Tablet that Christ was not begotten in the ordinary way, but by the
Holy Spirit. So we must accept this. Every Faith has some miracles, and this is
the great miracle of the Christian Faith. But we must not let it be a test to
us. Our human minds are so small, and as yet so immature compared to the men of
the future, that we should have no difficulty in acknowledging the Power of God
when He chooses to show it in some manner "illogical" to us!

letter dated 23 December 1948 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi, cited in a
letter dated 2 December 1995 written on behalf of the Universal House of
Justice to an individual believer)
