Though helpful for primary facts, charts/geometrical figures not to be taken to express in absolutely true form spiritual relations[edit]

"As regards the charts: what the Guardian told Mrs. Dunn was that we should be very careful not to consider geometrical figures as expressing in an absolutely true form what is in reality spiritual relations & beyond our comprehension. The charts may be helpful to state some primary facts but surely the reality has elements far beyond what they can express."

(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Messages to the Antipodes, p. 79)

"The chart which you have sent, & which I regard as very helpful, I will keep in the mansion of Bahá'u'lláh at Bahji."

(Shoghi Effendi, postscript to the above-quoted letter, Messages to the Antipodes, p. 80)
