We had a memorial service for Dr. Varqa, the last Hands of the Cause of God last night, and boy let me tell you it is so inspiring and live changing. It made me realized how little i know about the Hands of the Cause, and how little a times i have appreciated them.
After the passing of Shoghi Effendi, the Faith temporarily lost it's center of the covenant, all was in a state of panic. While this was happening, the Hands of the Cause of God knew it was their duty to prescribe a solution, so all of them gathered, and despite language barrier (some can only speak farsi or arabic while some are only fluent in english), they in perfect unity studied the scriptures of Baha'u'llah, Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi to find out what can they do now. It is under their guidance that the Universal House of Justice was established.
At that point, alot was required from the Hands of the Cause of God. Some were asked to leave their job and reside in Haifa to guide, and many, despite their position (some were doctors, some were given partnerships) they left everything and obeyed that command.
It is no doubt that through their sacrifice and hardwork, the people of the world are able enjoy the Faith today. In our silent prayers for him, i silently thank each and everyone of the Hands of the Cause of God, for if not for them, we will never be able to partake in this wondrous work of building a New World Order.
