“He feels that if … ponders more deeply about the fundamentals
of Divine Revelation, she will also come to understand
the Guardianship. Once the mind and heart have grasped the
fact that God guides men through a Mouthpiece, a human being,
a Prophet, infallible and unerring, it is only a logical projection
of this acceptance to also accept the station of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
and the Guardians. The Guardians are the evidence of the
maturity of mankind in the sense that at long last men have
progressed to the point of having one world, and of needing
one world management for human affairs. In the spiritual realm
they have also reached the point where God could leave, in
human hands (i.e. the Guardians) guided directly by the Báb
and Bahá’u’lláh, as the Master states in His Will, the affairs of
His Faith for this Dispensation. This is what is meant by ‘this
is the day which will not be followed by night.’ In this Dispensation,
divine guidance flows on to us in this world after the
Prophet’s ascension, through first the Master, and then the
Guardians. If a person can accept Bahá’u’lláh’s function, it
should not present any difficulty to them to also accept what
He has ordained in a Divinely guided individual in matters
pertaining to the Faith.”
