"Those divines [`ulama'], ... who are truly adorned with the ornament
of knowledge and of a goodly character are, verily, as a head to the
body of the world, and as eyes to the nations. The guidance of men
hath, at all times, been and is dependent upon these blessed souls."

If the guidance of the world depends, in Baha'u'llah's vision, on
these divines, why is the topic not treated in our public literature,
Wouldn't the Hands of the Cause be considered the Baha'i ulama?
But then, I guess that would make the "Hands" as: the "head" and
"eyes". That's so confusing. Well, unless they were also blind and
deaf. No, that's no good...
