Notes to Aqdas, Sentence #81
Notes from the Authorized Translation
60. And among the people is he who layeth claim to
inner knowledge # 36
This is a reference to people who claim access to esoteric
knowledge and whose attachment to such knowledge veils
them from the Revelation of the Manifestation of God.
Elsewhere Baha'u'llah affirms: "They that are the worshippers of
the idol which their imaginations have carved, and who call it
Inner Reality, such men are in truth accounted among the
heathen."
Earl Elder's Notes
4. Presumably this refers to one of the mystics who claimed to have esoteric knowledge.
