Re: Phrases exquisite in their beauty and scintillating in their majesty.

Dear Ross,

If all the Baha'is in the world would just read and meditate upon this
passage, it would become the source of our true unity.

In his Spiritual Testament, The Dispensation of Baha'u'llah, Shoghi
Effendi wrote the following expressions, replete with Truth:


"The creative energies released by the Law of Bahá'u'lláh,
permeating and evolving within the mind of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, have, by
their very impact and close interaction, given birth to an Instrument
which may be viewed as the Charter of the New World Order which is at
once the glory and the promise of this most great Dispensation. The
Will may thus be acclaimed as the inevitable offspring resulting from
that mystic intercourse between Him Who communicated the generating
influence of His divine Purpose and the One Who was its vehicle and
chosen recipient. Being the Child of the Covenant- the Heir of both
the Originator and the Interpreter of the Law of God-the Will and
Testament of 'Abdu'l-Bahá can no more be divorced from Him Who
supplied the original and motivating impulse than from the One Who
ultimately conceived it. Bahá'u'lláh's inscrutable purpose, we must
ever bear in mind, has been so thoroughly infused into the conduct of
'Abdu'l-Bahá, and their motives have been so closely wedded together,
that the mere attempt to dissociate the teachings of the former from
any system which the ideal Exemplar of those same teachings has
established would amount to a repudiation of one of the most sacred and

basic truths of the Faith."
