"the Guardian expected obedience to dictates from afar, but accepted us as the members of the community..."

"Whatever real reasons he had, neither I, nor Hassan, or our respective families, have learnt. For all of us, it simply cast a shadow that we could have done without, reminding us that even when cast out of the Cause, the Guardian expected obedience to dictates from afar, issued by someone who neither accepted us as members of the community nor granted us any recognition of basic human rights."

(Bahiyeh Shahid, great-granddaughter of Baha'u'llah)
