What I understood (I read it in the "Kitab-i-Hearsay"!) is that we, bahai
people, have been deeply invited to make our own searchs and discovers about God...
Developping this knowledge takes a lot of time and energy, so we all first
believe what we learn from others, but we shouldn't!
Probably the same problem about all kind of laws, norms, believings... some are just
"well-known", without any clear original references!
On this subject I am once again afraid of the same danger: some very tolerant
original writings turning into dogmatic interpretations, applied and accepted
by all...
Keep vigilant and be wary of the counterfeits!

"He spoke out; he expounded the secret verities of the Faith, and set
forth conclusive proofs that the Advent had indeed come to pass. He
recited verses from the Qur'án, and traditions handed down from the
Prophet Muhammad and the Holy Imams."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Memorials of the Faithful, p. 123)
"And among His signs are His splendours, rising above the horizon of
oneness, His lights streaming out from the dayspring of might, and the
announcement of the Most Great Glad-Tidings by His Herald, the One, the
Incomparable. Verily in this is a brilliant proof for the company of
those who know."
(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 15)
