The
Will and Testament of Baha’u’llah and The Will and Testament of the Master
clearly and explicitly indicate that the Interpreter of The Word was the Center
of the Covenant and now is the Guardian. There are no other Interpreters
whatsoever and no individual may interpret. This is strictly forbidden.
Divine
Truth is relative and that is why we are enjoined to constantly refer the
seeker to the Word itself - and why any explanations we make to ease the
journey of the soul of any individual must be based on The Word - and the Word
alone.
(From a letter written on
behalf of the Guardian to the National Spiritual
Assembly of Canada, June 4, 1957; compilation: ‘Lights of Guidance’)
