It is incumbent upon them [1] to take counsel together and
to have regard for the interests of the servants of God, for His sake, even as
they regard their own interests, and to choose that which is meet and seemly.
Thus hath the Lord your God... commanded you. Beware lest ye put away that
which is clearly revealed in His Tablet. Fear God, O ye that perceive! - Bahá'u'lláh (cited in a letter dated 5 March 1922 written by Shoghi Effendi to
the Bahá'ís of the United States and Canada, published in "Bahá'í
Administration: Selected Messages 1922-1932"; The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. II, The Local Spiritual Assembly)
