Station of 'Abdu'l-Baha
The unique station assigned to 'Abdu'l-Baha by the Blessed Perfection is indicated in the following passage written by the latter: "When the ocean of My presence hath ebbed and the Book of My Revelation is ended, turn your faces towards Him Whom God hath purposed, Who hath branched from this Ancient Root." And again: " .. refer ye whatsoever ye understand not in the Book to Him Who hath branched from this mighty Stock." 'Abdu'l-Baha Himself wrote the following: "In accordance with the explicit text of the Kitab-i-Aqdas Baha'u'llah hath made the Center of the Covenant the Interpreter of His Word - a Covenant so firm and mighty that from the beginning of time until the present day no religious Dispensation hath produced its like." (48:1)
