In its more recent order for the Baha’is of Iran entitled “Being loyal with covenant”, the Baha’i organization has tried to call their followers to obey the universal house of justice [1] and the Baha’i organization without any question.
The organization of the deviant cult of Bahaism has divided covenant into two parts in this instruction and has introduced it as obeying God and obeying the center of the Baha’i faith.
The clergyman Rouzbahani, the researcher of religions and cults has criticized the content published by the organization of the deviant cult of Bahaism as follows:
The holy Baha’i discipline, but without spirit and God
In the logic of the holy Quran [2], the covenant is the slavery contract with the creator:
“الست بربکم “
However; in reception instruction, this covenant changes into commitment with the center of the faith”; that is, the holy source of authority is transferred from Good to the administrative organization.
Such transferring is a kind of structural polytheism in monotheism logic because unquestionable obedience of the one except God is obeying the creature not obeying the creator.
This instruction asks its followers to preserve their faiths not from the path of reason, but from the course of subjugation. While in the religious logic, “unreasonable faith isn’t intentionless worship”. It possesses appearance, but it does not have any meaning. This is the very imitating firth which is considered as the holy doubt” not the divine belief by the Shia theologians.
In monotheistic literature, loyalty means honesty in contracting with God, even at the cost of opposing people. However, in this instruction, loyalty means obeying the foundation even if conscience and wisdom are cancelled. This inversion changes slavery into administrative one.
The prayer-like tone and emotional words like “light, love, benefits” have covering role: They hide the power structure in spirituality cloth. This is called “the Administrative Gnosticism”; which is superficially spiritual but it is serving control.
According to Anthropology, this text is a sample of the religious soft power: It presents obedience in the form of love. It aligns tomorrow with the universal center not only in action but also in sensation and will, too. This is the very “internal discipline” spoken by Foucault; subjugation without the need for coercion.
In this structure, doubt is induced as intellectual sin and the individual conscience is replaced by organizational one. Human being isn’t a questioner agent anymore, but he/she is a duty-bound agent.
The reception instruction changes the relationship between human being with God into the relationship between the subordinate with entity using soft and emotional language. In religious level, it leaves monotheism to the organization; and in philosophical level, it leaves freedom to made tranquility. More Baha’i texts are so. In appearance, they are speaking about love and morality, but deep down, they reproduce the structure of subjugation and atheism.
