…on the Day of Resurrection God will ask everyone of his
understanding and not of his following in the footsteps of others. How often a
person, having inclined his ears to the holy verses, would bow down in humility
and would embrace the Truth, while his leader would not do so. Thus every
individual must bear his own responsibility, rather than someone else bearing
it for him.
(The Báb, excerpt from Persian Bayan; ‘Selections from the Writings
of the Báb)
