A Bahá'í… will not make the mistake of regarding the sayings
and beliefs of certain Bahá'ís at any one time as being the Bahá'í Faith. The
Bahá'í Faith is the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh: His Own Words as interpreted by
'Abdu'l-Bahá and the Guardian. It is a revelation of such staggering magnitude
that no Bahá'í at this early stage in Bahá'í history can rightly claim to have
more than a partial and imperfect understanding of it.
