> SPAIN AND PORTUGAL
> 
> The beloved Guardian promised to pray for Spain.
> 
> Spain and Portugal shall form a Regional National Spiritual Assembly for the
> time being in Ridvan 1957. Although Spain has enough Local Spiritual
> Assemblies, Portugal has not; so they will have a Regional. Later separate
> National Spiritual Assemblies must be formed. (1963). If it is impossible to
> meet for the election of the members, the delegates may vote "in ausencia"
> (absentee votes). Even though the Faith is not incorporated in those two
> countries, the Regional N.S.A. must be formed. Even an incomplete number of
> persons can make a Convention, the rest voting by mail, or as well as they can.
> 
> Question: If such a meeting must be held clandestinely (and others also), do
> we have to observe strictly the rule of meetings, i.e. that only twenty persons
> can meet at a time, unless official permission is asked? And this is
> impossible for the Bahá'ís.
> 
> Answer: We should proceed with the meetings having as many people attending
> as possible without attracting attention. Later we would have instructions as
> to where the Convention would be held, Madrid or Lisbon, depending upon the
> conditions, and the number of delegates. Dr. Ugo Giachery, Hand of the Cause
> would attend the Iberian Convention.
> 
> INCORPORATION (Legalization of the Faith).
> 
> We must continue to try, if we can't get it done as a religion, then we should
> try to form some kind of society which can manage funds and properties, buy
> the Hazirat'ul-Quds, the Endowments, etc. When I told him of the difficulties,
> he counselled hiring a lawyer. However, if all this impossible for the time
> being, the properties could be put in the name of an individual Bahá'í or
> Bahá'ís; but all properties willed to an Assembly. This has been done in other
> places, such as Rome. In Spain this can be done too. The most important thing
> is that it be done as soon as possible. Later on the titles can be transferred to
> the Assembly.
> 
> Things will change in Spain; the Catholics who become Bahá'ís are, and will
> become, very faithful and devoted.
> 
> ANDALUZIA
> 
> The Guardian is very happy over the fact that Guy Murchie, the American Bahá'í
> author of "Song of the Sky", is living in Malaga. He says it doesn't matter if
> Andaluzia is settled first in Malaga or Seville. (This, because the Guardian had
> before mentioned Seville). The work in Linares interests him very much, and
> he is praying that the marriage of Tony and Mercedes can be effected, and that
> his work be fruitful.
> 
> [A] 2.
> 
> GYPSIES
> 
> The Gypsies must be contacted. This is very important. When they become
> Bahá'ís, their characters will change. The "Writings" must be translated into
> the Gypsy languages, even if only a pamphlet to begin with. One Gypsy
> converted will communicate the Faith to others. It is very important to
> convert the Gypsies. It will be a great victory. I told the Guardian that we had
> some Gypsy contacts in Granada.
> 
> The Guardian, when told that the Spanish authorities had refused to renew my
> residence visa, and had given me eight days in which to leave the country, said
> that I must return to Spain. This "invitation" was later withdrawn, due to a
> letter from the U.S. Consul.
> 
> MARRIAGE
> 
> Whoever has gotten married in the Church, (not saying he was a Bahá'í, and
> participating as a member of that Church in the ceremony), and having
> therefore been deprived of his voting right, must simply pay the consequences.
> Bahá'ís cannot go against the Law and still expect to be pardoned.
> 
> Question: Is there no pardon for these people?
> 
> Answer: "It is useless to make laws if they are not obeyed."
> 
> I asked, then, what Bahá'ís should do then, as a legal marriage in Spain is
> impossible, unless performed in the Church. He answered that, if they could
> not do it legally, (according to the law of the Church, which in this case is
> also the law of the land), they can simply have a Bahá'í ceremony with its
> certificate, and wait until times change, when this will be considered legal.
> (In a cable to Spain, the Guardian had said, let the Spanish follow the heroic
> example of the Egyptian friends.)
> 
> Should a Bahá'í marry a non-Bahá'í in the Church of the non-Bahá'í, and swear
> that the children of the marriage will be educated as members of that Church,
> the Bahá'í must be deprived of his voting rights.
> 
> ROMAN CATHOLICS
> 
> Strive to convert the Catholics. Provoke the Church with astuteness and
> caution. The Church will definitely begin its downfall when it persecutes the
> Bahá'ís. It will be the same as with the Caliphate and the Imamate. Whoever
> has attacked the Faith has always fallen.
> 
> DEVELOPMENT OF THE CAUSE
> 
> The Guardian emphasized that the Faith develops through sacrifice. The Faith
> develops the way a man does:
> 
> The embryo is the Revelation (Heroic Age).
> 
> The child is the Social Order (Administrative- Formative Age).
> 
> The adolescent is the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh.
> 
> The mature man is the World Civilization.
> 
> [A] 3.
> 
> And because it is a World (Global) Civilization, it is without precedent. The
> Global Civilization of Bahá'u'lláh can never decline. It can suffer setbacks, but
> can never decline. It will continue to progress and ascend indefinitely.
> 
> GUARDIANSHIP
> 
> Question: Is the Guardianship mentioned in the Bible prophecies?
> 
> Answer: It is mentioned only in one place, where in Isaiah it says: "A little
> child shall lead them." (This was also in a letter that 'Abdu'l-Bahá wrote,
> saying that the "child" was alive.)
> 
> The "twenty-four Elders", do not refer to the Guardians, but to the Eighteen
> Letters of the Living and others whose names will be known in the future.
> 
> The Guardian's name, Shoghi, does not mean "zeal". "My name means,
> 'yearning'", said the Guardian. (This was a very poignant moment, as indeed he
> is yearning-- to see the Bahá'ís become Bahá'ís indeed; and he is
> yearning to see the Ten Year Crusade become fulfilled. Indeed, his whole life
> has been one of intense YEARNING.)
> 
> The "zeal of the Lord of Hosts", refers to Bahá'u'lláh, it has nothing to do with
> the Guardian.
> 
> BABYLONIA
> 
> Question: Does the Babylonia of the Apocalypse (Revelation) refer to Rome and
> the Church?
> 
> Answer: Yes. It is Rome, but it is also all the modern cities which are
> materialistic - (Such as New York, Paris, etc.)
> 
> BAHA'U'LLAH'S WIFE NAVVAB (Ayesha)
> 
> [Corrections added in
> Virginia Orbison's handwriting]
> 
> "See Chosen Highway p
> 93-4 -- Tuba Khanum daughter of Abdu'l-Bahá
> 
> -- Navvab died before
> Bahá'u'lláh."
> 
> His first wife, lived after the Ascension of Bahá'u'lláh. She and 'Abdu'l-Bahá
> lived in the Madrih, and did not go to Bahji to stay. The Greatest Holy Leaf also
> lived with them.
> 
> MARRIAGE
> 
> Question: What can be done about two persons who before they became Bahá'ís
> lived together and had children, and who cannot legally get married? (as
> divorce in Spain is not permitted).
> 
> Answer: If they are sincere believers, they can have a Bahá'í wedding and be
> Bahá'ís.
> 
> The marriage ceremony of the Bahá'ís must take place on the same day
> as the civil ceremony, where the civil ceremony is permitted. Consent of both
> parents is obligatory.
> 
> [A] 4.
> 
> BOOK OF "THE AQDAS"
> 
> Question: What is meant by the goal of "codifying the "Aqdas" by 1963?
> 
> Answer: "The Aqdas" will be codified, that is, an index of its contents will be
> made. It [the goal] does not mean that it will be translated into other
> languages, nor be in vigor at that time. This is because many of the Laws are
> impossible to observe at present. Some of them are quite contrary to the laws
> of the nations. The Persians do not have the complete "Aqdas", nor even a
> complete compilation, as it is not yet a "book". The laws are encountered in
> many Tablets written by Bahá'u'lláh. For example, in a Tablet written to a
> certain person, He would suddenly announce a new Law. Some day, all of these
> will be compiled into a single book. "The Aqdas" will have to be translated
> by experts. The present Guardian will not do it. When the Bahá'í State is
> formed, "The Aqdas" will be promulgated. The Laws are few but very strict.
> There will be capital punishment, but mercy will be permitted. A person who
> commits arson will be burned-- it is up to the Bahá'í Court of Justice to
> decide.
> 
> There are twenty-six volumes of the Tablets directed to persons, which
> contain parts of the "Aqdas". These will later be included in the "Aqdas". A
> person who commits adultery will suffer in this world and in the next.
> 
> The Guardian said: I have indicated some of these laws for present observance.
> I shall see how the people obey them and give them out gradually. Little by
> little the Guardian will indicate those Laws which are obligatory,
> binding, and those which are recommended.
> 
> Some of the laws such as abstinence from alcohol is obligatory and binding.
> Also, not to get married in the Church is obligatory and binding. Marriage is a
> law, but not obligatory. It is recommended that people marry, but not binding
> upon everyone to do so. Others: Obligatory prayers. There will be laws which
> are only for the Orient, not for the Occident. Games of chance are forbidden,
> but as for National Lotteries, it will be up to the International House of
> Justice to decide. Some to the laws cannot be observed at present.
> 
> "GOD PASSES BY"
> 
> The title indicates that God passed or is passing through the earth, or has
> come to the earth in the form of His Manifestation, and is recognized by few.
> It is difficult to translate into some languages. The phrase has nothing to do
> with any Biblical passage.
> 
> VIRGIN BIRTH:
> 
> Question: There are many legends and stories about previous Prophets being
> born of virgins, are there any other Manifestations of God beside Jesus, born
> of a virgin?
> 
> Answer: The Bahá'í Writings do not mention any, therefore we consider that
> all other accounts can be inexact, or legendary. Every revelation (religion) has
> its mysteries. The mystery in Christianity is the birth of Jesus by a virgin.
> That of the Bahá'í Faith is 'Abdu'l-Bahá. We only accept that fact that Jesus
> was born of a virgin, and not that Mary was exempt from sin, since original
> sin does not exist. The idea of "original sin" is the invention of men, Naturally,
> we do not believe in it.
> 
> [A] 5.
> 
> THE KINGDOM OF GOD
> 
> The Kingdom of God is not the Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh, but the result of its
> coming-- which is the Global Civilization.
> 
> MY SERVANT WHO WILL CONSTRUCT THE TEMPLE
> 
> This Biblical passage does not refer to 'Abdu'l-Bahá. It refers to Bahá'u'lláh.
> The Temple is the body-- material and spiritual. The "Surayt'ul-Haykl" deals
> with this theme. It is in the form of a five-pointed star, and is the fulfillment
> of prophecy. It is very badly translated into English. (In the "Bahá'í
> Scriptures").
> 
> THE GREATEST NAME
> 
> The Guardian says that in the Writings there is nothing about the connection
> between the name JEHOVAH (the Tetragrammation, or word of Four Letters),
> and the Greatest Name, Abha.
> 
> LORD OF HOSTS
> 
> When the "Lord of Hosts" is referred to in the Bible, it ALWAYS means
> Bahá'u'lláh.
> 
> DURATION OF THE BAHA'I WORLD FAITH
> 
> Question: Have other civilizations more advanced than ours ever existed on
> this planet?
> 
> Answer: This (Bahá'í) civilization is the most elevated and advanced ever
> known on this planet, or ever to be known; as it is the first one to be GLOBAL.
> It is the first time that any civilization, no matter how advanced, has been
> completely global and united.
> 
> Question: Will the Bahá'í Cycle decline, and will future Prophets who come
> under the shadow of Bahá'u'lláh have to revive it as has been their function in
> the past?
> 
> Answer: No-- There can be set-backs in its development from time to time,
> but IT CANNOT DECLINE. The Guardian spoke several times about this, and each
> time emphatically stated the above. I expressed pain at asking this question
> which seems to me amply and frequently answered in all the Writings, and
> most specifically in the Guardian's writings, but did so ask it, so as to hear
> from his own lips. "This is the Day which shall not be followed by night"-- it
> is the Kingdom of God on Earth.
> 
> INTERPRETATION OF BIBLICAL PROPHECIES
> 
> The Guardian said that when we deal with these, we should not try to
> interpret them all as referring to this age, unless necessarily they are
> indicated as referring to it, to the Faith, etc. "The Churches will thank us for
> this!"
> 
> [A] 6.
> 
> POWER OF SACRED DUST
> 
> Asked about the meaning of the power of the sacred dust, as mentioned in "The
> Iqan" in connection with the dust of the Imam Husayn, the Guardian said that
> there exists definitely this power, but that we cannot analyze it at present,
> nor will he give any explanation about this statement or theory. He said,
> however, that the "philosophers" of the future would study the matter
> and explain these things.
> 
> RITES AND CEREMONIES IN BAHA'I FAITH
> 
> The Guardian said that there should be no kind of rites. No one is permitted to
> establish any special manner of doing things connected with worship. There is
> no special position or posture to assume while praying, excepting those
> indicated in the Obligatory Prayers. One can stand, kneel, prostrate oneself, as
> he wishes. The Bab stayed respectfully OUTSIDE of the Tomb of Husayn,
> although His Own position was loftier.
> 
> ORIGIN OF MAN
> 
> We cannot prove scientifically that man has always been man, as 'Abdu'l-Bahá
> states, but we must accept His words as being the Interpreter.
> 
> THE LETTERS WHICH PRECEDE THE SURAS OF THE QURAN
> 
> The Guardian answered George Spendlove's question, saying that Bahá'u'lláh
> had written a Tablet which is not yet translated into English, which makes it
> very clear that the mysterious letters deciphered, indicate that ALI was truly
> the real successor of Muhammad.
> 
> THE YEAR 1957
> 
> The Guardian when asked the significance of this year, said in a rather offhand
> way, Oh, that refers to a happening within the Cause, and not in the world
> outside.
> 
> THE CIVILIZATION OF BAHA'U'LLAH
> 
> This Revelation (Dispensation) being the Kingdom of God on Earth, can never
> decline. However, there will never be a time when absolute perfection will
> have been attained, because if this were reached, there would be no more
> Prophets. Bahá'u'lláh once stated that there never would be a time when the
> world was without Prophets.
> 
> TEACHING
> 
> We must increase the number of believers. Teaching has three aspects:
> 
> 1. Attraction. 2. Get them to sympathize with the aims of the Faith. 3. Convert
> them.
> 
> Endeavor to make active believers who will support the Bahá'í Institutions.
> More wisdom mixed with audacity is necessary.
> 
> [A] 7.
> 
> TOMB OF BAHA'U'LLAH
> 
> The Tomb of Bahá'u'lláh on Bahji will have a very large and ornate mausoleum
> built over it. Larger than that of the Bab. It will be in Bahji and not on Mount
> Carmel. It will always be in Bahji. (The sarcophagus built for Bahá'u'lláh is
> still in storage in Egypt.)
> 
> THE TOMB OF THE BAB
> 
> The chamber which contains the sarcophagus of the Bab is very, very deeply
> built into the mountain. 'Abdu'l-Bahá insisted that it be very deep, even after
> solid rock had been struck.
> 
> ELECTIONS
> 
> The members of the communities elect the Local Spiritual Assemblies. The
> Local Assemblies elect the delegates who in turn elect the National Spiritual
> Assemblies and they in turn elect the International House of Justice. These
> members can be any believer whether of a community or isolated. The
> International Tribunal of the International House of Justice will decide the
> term of office of the members of the International House of Justice.
> 
> KINGS
> 
> There will be kings, but different from what they are now. Bahá'u'lláh
> addressed Himself to the Kings, indicating their station, not to republics, not
> the presidents, saying that the kings are the shadow of God on earth-- He did
> not say this about the presidents. However, royalty will marry commoners.
> (This question was asked on account of the controversy over the possibility of
> the marriage of Princess Margaret of Britain with a commoner.) The Guardian,
> however, did not elaborate on the theme.
> 
> RACIAL PREJUDICE
> 
> Racial prejudice is one of the major defects of the United States, and class
> prejudice that of the British.
> 
> CANADIANS
> 
> The Guardian praised the Canadian highly, said they should study the Teachings
> more profoundly. Although Ruhiyyih Khanum says she is American, the
> Guardian called her a Canadian. (Perhaps in praise of the Canadians and of her
> father, Hand of the Cause, William Sutherland Maxwell).
> 
> KOREA
> 
> The Guardian said that Korea had a great future. He told Bill Schmits that he
> should return there.
> 
> PRAYER
> 
> We should pray more. 1. Pray. 2. Meditate upon the prayers said, and think
> about them. 3. Study constantly the Teachings. 4. Put into practice what we
> learn-- Action.
> 
> [A] 8.
> 
> HAZIRAT'UL-QUDS
> 
> Hazirat'ul-Quds means, "Sacred Fold". The Hazirat'ul-Quds should be devoted to
> Bahá'í work only and to things which pertain to the Faith. The Hazirat'ul-Quds
> is for administration.
> 
> MASHRIQ'UL-ADHKAR
> 
> The Mashriq'ul-Adhkar and its dependencies are for the people in general--for
> all of Humanity. During the Ten Year Crusade a few Temples will be built, but
> in the future all the countries will have them, and many more.
> 
> TRANSLATIONS
> 
> The Guardian made it very clear that we should not put too much confidence in
> translations not done by him. (He is the infallible interpreter of the Writings).
> Translations made by other persons can be excellent, and be of much interest,
> but they are all subject to error. Only the translations made by the Guardian
> are considered authoritative. These are our authorities. The Guardian said that
> we now have all the information about the Faith necessary, and the
> instructions given or translated by him. Some of these are: "The Will and
> Testament of 'Abdu'l-Bahá", translated by Shoghi Effendi and Lady Blomfield;
> the "Dawn Breakers"; "The Administration Letters"; "God Passes By"; "The
> Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh"; "The Epistle to the Son of the Wolf"; "The Iqan";
> "Gleanings"; "Prayers and Meditations", etc. When asked about the balue
> [value?] of "Bahá'u'lláh and the New Era", and "Some Answered Questions", he
> said that they are recommened [recommended?], but have errors. "The Seven
> Valleys" is full of error, principally of interpretation, and "The Four Valleys",
> impossible to understand. Many of the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh were written,
> addressing specialists in one field or another, such as mysticism, poetry,
> theology, etc.
> 
> When Bahá'ís translate Bahá'í Writings into other languages, Spanish, French,
> etc., they should do them as well as they can and then consult specialists in
> the language so as to be sure of the literary value and grammatical
> correctness of the translation. He said they should be as perfect as possible,
> first in meaning and then in style. If possible, the experts should be versed in
> Biblical language.
> 
> One evening in answer to questions put by a pilgrim, the Guardian said that
> "The Seven Valleys" had not been translated by him, and therefore was not
> always exact in meaning. That is why many passages were impossible to
> understand or interpret correctly, as the faulty translation prevented this. He
> also emphasized the fact that ONLY translations made by him are absolutely
> correct, (naturally, as he interprets as he translates). Also, if a
> questionable passage is referred to, the Guardian does not say that it is
> incorrect and then proceed to give the correct meaning. He never does this. If
> he wishes to give the exact translation and meaning he gets the ORIGINAL
> writing, and then compares it with the translation to show the difference. He
> does not simply read off the way it should be! This was very important. He
> said that we have enough works translated by him to last us as long as needed,
> without resorting to outside translations. Although they can be authorized,
> and useful, they are not to be considered as exact authorities. "Bahá'u'lláh and
> the New Era" still has faulty passages, and so has "Some Answered Questions";
> however, they are so important and useful in their present imperfect form
> that they are recommended. There
> 
> [A] 9.
> 
> simply is no time to correct them entirely, or do new translations. "The Seven
> Valleys" is one which is too faulty to be considered too seriously, and "Four
> Valleys" simply impossible to understand at all! So the poor pilgrim had to
> remain unsatisfied in regard to his wish to know all the hidden meanings of
> "The Seven Valleys"-- they are so hidden, that they shall remain so until an
> authorized Interpreter can translate them properly.
> 
> On one occasion a passage from, "Promulgation of Universal Peace" was quoted
> to him, and he said -- that is not correct and in that case remarked that
> "Confucius was not a Prophet;" but he did not correct the passage.
> 
> BURIAL
> 
> Bahá'í prayers should be said for any Bahá'í even if the funeral must be
> conducted in a Church, on account of non-Bahá'í relatives. The burial stone
> should be used when possible, but if one is not available, then the usual Bahá'í
> ring is used. The body must be buried within an hour's journey. Bodies must not
> be cremated.
> 
> HOLY PLACES IN ORDER ARE
> 
> 1. 'Akka-Bahji, "the Qiblih of the Bahá'í world." (The Tomb of
> Bahá'u'lláh.)
> 
> 2. The Tomb of the Bab.
> 
> 3. The Most Great House, in Baghdad.
> 
> 4. The house of the Bab in Shiraz.
> 
> 5. The Siyah-Chal in Teheran.
> 
> 6. Adrianople.
> 
> INTERPLANETARY UNITY
> 
> The Guardian spoke about America's primacy-- but that more suffering was
> needed. We are struggling to attain a world civilization and world unity. I
> asked: And will all this lead to interplanetary unity? "Of course," he said
> emphatically, "After that, interplanetary unity." I said: But we have an awful
> lot to do here so as to reach a unity!" "Of course - I was just about to say
> this!", said the Guardian. The human race will become fused into one, one
> color, etc.
> 
> LAWS
> 
> Not to lie is a law, but it is one that Assemblies cannot easily deal with.
> 
> Not to take alcohol is an obligatory law. Divorce is frowned upon, but
> permitted under certain conditions. Smoking is considered dirty, and it is
> undignified to smoke in a Feast. Smoking during the devotional part of the
> Feast should never be done, but during the social part, if one HAS to; however
> this is not recommended. (The Guardian naturally, does not smoke; but there
> are persons in the household who do, but never in the Guardian's presence.
> Ruhiyyih Khanum does not smoke.)
> 
> CIVIL LAWS OF THE LAND
> 
> The Bahá'ís must obey the civil laws of the country in which they live or
> happen to be. If there is an investigation by the police, the Bahá'ís must not
> lie. They must answer truthfully what they are asked, "this is very
> important," he said. I asked him what we should do in case of occupation
> by another country, and they should ask for lists of the believers, information,
> etc. He answered, that God would help us when necessary, as He did in the case
> of the German Bahá'ís, protected from the Gestapo and the Nazis, during World
> War II.
> 
> Resorting to the "black market" is forbidden.
> 
> [A] 10.
> 
> DISPERSION
> 
> Bahá'ís must disperse, so as to spread the Cause and also to be in safer places.
> New York, Paris, London, "and Madrid", said the Guardian, with a swift
> and emphatic look at me!
> 
> THE GUARDIAN
> 
> A published picture of the Guardian showed him with glasses on. Only this
> picture shows him with them. I never saw him wear glasses, nor any sign of
> them. He often read things in front of us, and he did not require glasses.
> 
> POLITICS
> 
> The Guardian was very emphatic in saying that the Bahá'ís must not
> sympathize with any political party. We are not in accord with the
> materialistic countries, that is to say neither with the United States of
> America nor with Russia. When we mention these two countries, we must
> make this very clear, and mention both at the same time as materialistic. We
> cannot be members of any political party nor in favor of any. If our country is
> occupied by another, we cannot become in agreement with their ideology, but
> we must obey the laws of the conquering power. The Bahá'ís are not national,
> nor even international, they are SUPRA-NATIONAL. If they are firm, they will
> triumph in the end.
