God, the Vigilant, the Just, the Loving, the All-Wise
Ordainer, can, in this supreme Dispensation, neither allow the sins of an
unregenerate humanity, whether of omission or of commission, to go unpunished,
nor will He be willing to abandon His children to their fate, and refuse them
that culminating and blissful stage in their long, their slow and painful
evolution throughout the ages, which is at once their inalienable right and
their true destiny.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated March 28, 1941; ‘The
Promised Day Is Come’)
