"... far, far, far away from the ken of men and angels;"
That starts a quote describing the Covenant that instantly struck a
chord with me when I read it in "The Power of the Covenant" series
pamphlets published in 1976. Shoghi Effendi quoted about as much of it
as I have above and attributed it to Abdu'l-Baha but I am aware that
some years back, the Research Department at the World Centre identified
the whole quote found in the pamphlets as coming from the diary of Ahmad
Sohrab calling it "interesting material but not scripture."
My dilemma: I am teaching a high school level Baha'i class and would
like to use this wonderful description of the Covenant in my
introduction to the subject. Should I? Kind of ironic to use the
utterance of a Covenant-breaker to describe the Covenant but it is such
a great overarching description. Does anyone know if there is a similar
but authentic description I could use?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
