‘Abdu'l-Baha is the interpreter of the aims, intents, and
purposes of the Words of the Blessed Perfection (Baha’u’llah) and is the
interpreter of his own written words, and none can say that this or that is the
intention conveyed therein, save ‘Abdu'l-Baha. The spirit of unity exists in
the Divine Words, and one who interprets them in such wise as to create a
division and discord is indeed one who errs.

questions asked by Dr. Edward C. Getsinger during a few brief meetings at
Haifa, January 26 to February 5, 1915, and recorded by Dr. Getsinger at the
