Source (Arabic)
حاملان امانت احديّه که در عوالم ملکيّه بحکم جديد و امر بديع ظاهر ميشوند چون اين اطيار عرش باقی از سماء مشيّت الهی نازل ميگردند و جميع بر امر مبرم ربّانی قيام ميفرمايند لهذا حکم يک نفس و يک ذات را دارند چه جميع از کأس محبّت الهی شاربند و از اثمار شجره توحيد مرزوق
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The Bearers of the Trust of God are made manifest unto the peoples of the earth as the Exponents of a new Cause and the Revealers of a new Message. Inasmuch as these Birds of the celestial Throne are all sent down from the heaven of the Will of God, and as they all arise to proclaim His irresistible Faith, they, therefore, are regarded as one soul and the same person. For they all drink from the one Cup of the love of God, and all partake of the fruit of the same Tree of Oneness.
