Inasmuch as for each day there is a new problem and for
every problem an expedient solution, such affairs should be referred to the
House of Justice that the members thereof may act according to the needs and
requirements of the time. They that, for the sake of God, arise to serve His
Cause, are the recipients of divine inspiration from the unseen Kingdom. It is
incumbent upon all to be obedient unto them. All matters of State should be
referred to the House of Justice, but acts of worship must be observed
according to that which God hath revealed in His Book.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets
of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
