The statement in the “Gleanings”, p. 64–65, “who out of
utter nothingness…” etc., should be taken in a symbolic and not literal sense.
It is only to demonstrate the power and greatness of God.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated
26 December, 1941, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual
believer; ‘Letters from the Guardian to Australia and New Zealand’)
