In the estimation of God all men are equal. There is no
distinction or preference for any soul, in the realm of His justice and equity
…God did not make these divisions, these divisions have had their origin in man
himself. Therefore, as they are against the plan and purpose of God they are
false and imaginary. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of
Divine Justice’)
