notes:	Category of Bahá’í literature consisting of notes taken by Bahá’í pilgrims about their experiences meeting the Central Figures, Shoghi Effendi, and later members of the Bahá’í Administration. These notes are hearsay and cannot claim the authority and binding power of the Sacred Text. "The instructions of the Master and the Guardian make it very clear that Pilgrims' notes are hearsay and cannot claim the authority and binding power of the Sacred Text.... Moreover, the fact that the pilgrim writing of his experience is a reliable or well-known believer, or that the reported statement seems to be repeated in the notes of several pilgrims, does not in itself confer authority upon the pilgrim's note in question." – From a letter written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice to an individual believer, January 23, 1980, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1433 "Shoghi Effendi has often said that the notes of the pilgrims should be for their own personal use and bear absolutely no authority. What he desires to convey to the friends at large he will always say in his general letters." –From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, February 26, 1933, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1434
