One of them [Covenant-breakers] saith: ‘[Bahá’u’lláh] hath made us independent of aught else, and hath left no need unmet.’ The secret intent of such a statement is that there is no need for an appointed Centre. Another exclaimeth: ‘Infallibility belonged to [Bahá’u’lláh] alone; no other person is infallible.’ His inner motive is to assert that [‘Abdu’l-Bahá] is liable to error. Furthermore, they say that one who was regarded with favour, who was a believer or the recipient of a Tablet during the days of [Bahá’u’lláh], cannot possibly be cast out. Their true objective is to hint that were such a person to arise in opposition, or be so bold as to show enmity, no harm would result.... The whole purpose of these words is to violate the Covenant and Testament.
