…not every intellect can be the criterion of truth. The
truly wise are, in the first place, the Chosen Ones of God, magnified be His
glory—they Whom He hath singled out to be the Treasuries of His knowledge, the
Repositories of His Revelation, the Daysprings of His authority and the
Dawning-places of His wisdom, they Whom He hath made His representatives on
earth and through Whom He revealeth that which He hath purposed. Whoso turneth
unto them hath turned unto God, and whoso turneth away shall not be remembered
in the presence of God, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
