Hi Rich, I don't understand what you mean.
Well, I can understand that. Which is why I used the word "perhaps" in my assertion. By the way, I believe that Abdu'l-Baha and all other pure servitude to God would be included. Below is the reference:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the exaltation of the word of the Qur'án in former times and the elevation of the word of the Bayán after it may be considered thus when face to face with the Sun of Reality, what is the state of those matters that are derived from that word, matters such as the recognition of God's names, or those of the Prophet, the Imáms of Guidance, the Gates of Guidance, as well as secondary questions without number or end? Anyone who has been veiled by one of these things from the reality that isn the source of his existence, and unto which it returns, should he belong to the Tree of Affirmation and should the sign of his oneness be a token of the Sun, well and good; but, God forbid, should it not be a token of it, he would be unworthy of any mention. (From a provisional trans. by Denis MacEoin of the Persian Bayan Vahid 1 Bab 1)
