O people of God! That which traineth the world is Justice,
for it is upheld by two pillars, reward and punishment. These two pillars are
the sources of life to the world. Inasmuch as for each day there is a new
problem and for every problem an expedient solution, such affairs should be
referred to the Ministers of the House of Justice that they 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 Bahá'u'lláh Revealed after the Kitáb-i-Aqdas’; The
Compilation of Compilations, Vol. I, The Establishment of the Universal House
of Justice)
