rgiven it goes without saying that their followers can also be
forgiven...

"Also, it has nothing to do with unity in the Cause; if a man cuts a
cancer out of his body to preserve his health and very life, no one would
suggest that for the sake of unity it should be reintroduced into the
otherwise healthy organism. On the contrary, what was once a part of him
has so radically changed as to have become a poison."

46: CRIMSON BOOK (THE)

"Unfortunately it would seem that the knowledge 'which could largely
eliminate fear' has not been disclosed or identified by Baha'u'llah, so we
do not know what it is.

"However, what Baha'u'llah did not elaborate but what He meant by the
'world' recorded in the Crimson Book was the power of the Covenant.

"The 'Crimson Book' refers to the Book of His Covenant, and the reference
above means the power for unity which the Covenant possesses and radiates.
On page 238 of 'God Passes By' you will find the cross-reference to the
'Crimson Book' and the 'Epistle to the Son of the Wolf.'"

47: CRITICISM

"When criticism and harsh words arise within a Baha'i community, there is
no remedy except to put the past behind one, and persuade all concerned to
turn over a new leaf, and for the sake of God and His Faith refrain from
mentioning the subjects which have led to misunderstanding and inharmony.
The more the friends argue back and forth and maintain, each side, that
their point of view is the right one, the worse the whole situation
becomes.

"When we see the condition the world is in today, we must surely forget
these utterly insignificant internal disturbances, and rush, unitedly, to
the rescue of humanity. You should urge your fellow Baha'is to support you
in a strong effort to suppress every critical thought and every harsh
word, in order to let the spirit of Baha'u'llah flow into the entire
community, and unite it in His love and in His service."

48: CRITICISM (ON)

"...Vicious criticism is indeed a calamity. But its root is lack of faith
in the system of Baha'u'llah, i.e., the Administrative Order--and lack of
obedience to Him--for He has forbidden it! If the Baha'is would follow the
Baha'i laws in voting, in electing, in serving and in abiding by Assembly
decisions, all this waste of strength through criticizing others could be
diverted into cooperation and achieving the Plan..."
