Baha'u'llah cannot break his own laws.
“God is my witness! Had it not been in conflict with that which the Tablets of God have decreed, I would have gladly kissed the hands of whosoever attempted to shed my blood in the path of the Well-Beloved.” (Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, p. 102) “were it not contrary to the Law of God, I would have kissed the hand of My...

Savages of central Africa !
Abdul Baha :
If a child is left in its natural state and deprived of education,
there is no doubt that it will grow up in ignorance and illiteracy, its
mental faculties dulled and dimmed; in fact, it will become like an
animal. This is evident among the savages of central Africa, who
are scarcely higher than the beast in mental development.

These people were not readily admitted into the presence of 'Abdu'l-Bahá; the same restrictions which limited the visits of the believers applied to them too. Any such visit could have provided ammunition for the enemies of the Faith and consequently might have led to more restrictions and hardships. More often than not, I suspected that some of these...
