…the principle of unqualified and whole-hearted loyalty to
the revealed Word. The believers should be careful not to deviate, even a
hair-breadth, from the Teachings. Their supreme consideration should be to
safeguard the purity of the principles, tenets and laws of the Faith. It is
only by this means that they can hope to maintain the organic unity of the
Cause. There can and should be no liberals or conservatives, no moderates or
extremes in the Cause. For they are all subject to the one and the same law which
is the Law of God. This law transcends all differences, all personal or local
tendencies, moods and aspirations.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated July
10, 1936 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi; ‘Dawn of a New Day’)
