Learned
___________________
The appointed branch of the Bahá'í Administrative Order: 'Blessed are the rulers and the learned among the people of Bahá. They are My trustees among My servants and the manifestations of My commandments amidst My people.'
 
The Institution of the 'learned' includes the Hands of the Cause, the Continental Boards of Counsellors and the Auxiliary Boards and their assistants. The function of the 'learned' within the Bahá'í Administrative Order is advisory and inspirational, in contrast to that of the elected branch, the 'rulers'. The members of this institution are appointed and function as individuals rather than as a body.
[BD 138]
