God is the real Guardian of His Cause, for every believer, as
Baha'u'llah states in the Tablet Seven Valleys, concerning the
spiritual journeys, or spiritual development of believers. When asked
if this referred to him, Shoghi Effendi stated emphatically that it
referred only to God, the Guardian of all of His creation and of His
eternal Faith. Here is that statement from the Seven
Valleys;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
"These journeys have no visible ending in the world of time, but the
severed wayfarer -- if invisible confirmation descend upon him and the
Guardian of the Cause assist him -- may cross these seven stages in
seven steps, nay rather in seven breaths, nay rather in a single
breath, if God will and desire it. And this is of "His grace on such
of His servants as He pleaseth." (Baha'u'llah, The Seven Valleys, p.
40)
The groups, cults, individuals that at this time believe that they and
they alone are the centers of the Cause, and are the appointed ones to
save the Cause of God's and to establish the World Order. Not
true, for God and God alone is the Guardian and Establisher of His
Cause, and true believers should have more faith in God, to protect
and develop His Kingdom in His way, which is not always in accord with
OUR way, nor our limited understanding.
