You should…, when studying the Synopsis and Codification of
the Laws and Ordinances of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas,…always remember Bahá’u’lláh’s
exhortation to “Weigh not the Book of God with such standards and sciences as
are current amongst you, for the Book itself is the unerring balance
established amongst men. In this most perfect balance whatsoever the peoples
and kindreds of the earth possess must be weighed, while the measure of its
weight should be tested according to its own standard, did ye but know it.”
- The Universal House of Justice (From a letter dated April 28, 1974 to an
individual believer; ‘Messages from the Universal House of Justice 1963-1986’)
