This is a beautiful concept - surely truth is relative and not absolute.
According not only to our individual capacities and potential but also to
'progressive revelation'. thank you Khazeh for your wonderful references.

"ALL Bahais, no matter what side of the argument they are on, will say
they
believe in "the independent investigation of truth" but then the
difference
will be what they mean by the phrase."
That much is true. But there are some Baha'is who take the position that
the
independent search for truth ends once you become a Baha'i.
The independent search for truth should end once you find the truth.
If it doesn't end there, then you haven't found the truth.
