50: DISPENSATION OF BAHÁ’U’LLÁH |
“With reference to … the Dispensation of Bahá’u’lláh, he
wishes me to explain that although ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s station is not
that of a Manifestation of God, nevertheless supplications may
be addressed to Him. It is essential, however, that every
believer should realize that while doing so he is directing his
thoughts toward the Master as an intermediary between him
and the Manifestation, and not as the Source of Divine Revelation
and Spiritual Guidance. Provided this distinction is clearly
established, there can be no harm or objection in addressing
prayers to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.”
