The plans of many Baha'is for the Faith are not the same as God's
Plan, and may believe that THEY will solve the problems and establish
the Cause in the world. It is important that they consider the
following quotations from Baha'u'llah and the Bab and change their
thinking accordingly.Today the test of submission to the Will of God
has appeared with greater strength because we have been given the
opportunity for greater spiritual knowledge and insight into the
meaning of such tests through the Kitab-i-Iqan and other Books of
Baha'u'llah, and repeatedly warned that we must wholly submit to the
Will of God. The following statements indicate that God can, in fact,
change those aspects of His Cause that we consider irrevocable. In the
Most Great Infallibility there is no change of plans but from the
viewpoint of the creatures it appears that God changes His plans,
whereas past and future events and possibilities are all known to
God.
For example, the end of the Guardianship seems to Baha'is to be a
change of God's plan because we have assumed it would never end, yet
if it had not ended, at least temporarily until the next
Manifestation, there would be no test of believers, all Baha'is would
accept the Manifestation, and the statement of Baha'u'llah on page 9 ...

That is a very simple question to answer. Hands of the Bahá'í Faith
are servants of the living Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, appointed by
a living Guardian. Hands of the Cause are part of the Guardianship
pillar of the "twin pillars" of the Administration of the New World
Order, as defined by Shoghi Effendi, in his Spiritual Testament, The
Dispensation of Bahá'u'lláh.

Hands of the Cause of God well understand and are are constantly aware
who it is who has authority over them. In other words, they
understand and obey exactly what Shoghi Effendi meant when he wrote
these words concerning the twin Institutions, the Guardianship and the
Universal House of Justice:

'Neither will seek to curtail the specific and undoubted authority
with which both have been divinely invested."
