تجاوز از رتبه و مقام جایز نه حفظ مراتب لازم یعنی هر شیء در مقام خود مشاهده شود
Shoghi Effendi Translation
To transgress the limits of one’s own rank and station is, in no wise, permissible. The integrity of every rank and station must needs be preserved. By this is meant that every created thing should be viewed in the light of the station it hath been ordained to occupy.
