Its teachings revolve around the fundamental principle that religious truth is not absolute but relative, that Divine Revelation is progressive, not final. Unequivocally and without the least reservation it proclaims all established religions to be divine in origin, identical in their aims, complementary in their functions, continuous in their purpose, indispensable in their value to mankind... “ "“They differ,” explains Bahá’u’lláh... “only in the intensity of their revelation and the comparative potency of their light.” And this, not by reason of any inherent incapacity of any one of them to reveal in a fuller measure the glory of the Message with which He has been entrusted, but rather because of the immaturity and unpreparedness of the age He lived in to apprehend and absorb the full potentialities latent in that Faith..." – Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh
"All Divine Revelation seems to have been thrown out in flashes. ... That is why in the Qur'án and our own Writings different subjects are so often included in one Tablet. It pulsates, so to speak. That is why it is "Revelation"." – On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Unfolding Destiny, p. 454
"... There is a fundamental difference between Divine Revelation as vouchsafed by God to His Prophets, and the spiritual experiences and visions which individuals may have. The latter should, under no circumstances, be construed as constituting an infallible source of guidance, even for the person experiencing them..." – From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi dated November 1, 1940, to an individual believer, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1741
