Bahai Provisions: A Rehash Of Bayan

1.     Bahai State
Baha’s teachings are aimed at the forming of a new state of society governed by a Bahai established authority such as a ruler, assisted by a House of Justice. As in the case of the Bayan, Baha’s new state of society could only be viable in a Bahai country governed by a Bahai established authority. This will be seen when his laws and teachings are considered. The laws and teachings given by him were to be in effect, according to Baha, for the next one thousand years.

The purpose of Baha was the same as Primal Point’s with this difference that Baha’s teachings were a means to an end, his ambition to gain the upper hand in the Bayani community. To achieve which, his claim was preceded and followed by a series of assassinations on the parts of his followers, in which all are prominent Bayanis who opposed his claim were disposed of by foul play.
“of what use” says Browne, T.A Note C, p.364, “are the noblest and most humane utterance, if they be associated with such deeds”?
