Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 329 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
بعضی از متوهّمین باوهام خود جمیع اشیاء را شریک حقّ نمودهاند و معذلک خود را اهل توحید شمردهاند لا ونفسه الحقّ آن نفوس اهل تقلید و تقیید و تحدید بوده و خواهند بود
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Some, deluded by their idle fancies, have conceived all created things as associates and partners of God, and imagined themselves to be the exponents of His unity. By Him Who is the one true God! Such men have been, and will continue to remain, the victims of blind imitation, and are to be numbered with them that have restricted and limited the conception of God.
