'Abdu'l-Baha never incorrect

Dear Friend,
I hope that I am not being repetitive with the following:
When the Mystic Dove will have winged its flight from its Sanctuary of Praise
and sought its far-off goal, its hidden habitation, refer ye whatsoever ye
understand not in the Book to Him Who hath branched from this mighty Stock.
(Baha'u'llah, p. 27, also found in the Kitab-I-Aqdas, p. 83
and The Dispensation of Baha'u'llah, p. 41-42)
And the following which is from the Suriy-i-Ghusn(Tablet of the Branch) found
which I found in " The Dispensation of Baha'u'llah". It seems to me that this
description of 'Abdu'l-Baha from Baha'u'llah would leave no doubt in my mind
to his infalibility. I will keep looking for you:
"There hath branched from the Sadratu'l-Muntaha this sacred and glorious
Being, this Branch of Holiness; well is it with him that hath sought His
shelter and abideth beneath His shadow. Verily the Limb of the Law of God
hath sprung forth from this Root which God hath firmly implanted in the Ground
of His Will, and Whose Branch hath been so uplifted as to encompass the whole
of creation. Magnified be He, therefore, for this sublime, this blessed, this
mighty, this exalted Handiwork! . . . A Word hath, as a token of Our grace,
gone forth from the Most Great Tablet--a Word which God hath adorned with the
ornament of His own Self, and made it sovereign over the earth and all that is
therein, and a sign of His greatness and power among its people . . . Render
thanks unto God, O people, for His appearance; for verily He is the most great
Favor unto you, the most perfect bounty upon you; and through Him every
mouldering bone is quickened. Whoso turneth towards Him hath turned towards
God, and whoso turneth away from Him hath turned away from My Beauty, hath
repudiated My Proof, and transgressed against Me. He is the Trust of God
amongst you, His charge within you, His manifestation unto you and His
appearance among His favored servants . . .We have sent Him down in the form
of a human temple. Blest and sanctified be God Who createth whatsoever He
willeth through His inviolable, His infallible decree. They who deprive
themselves of the shadow of the Branch, are lost in the wilderness of error,
and consumed by the heat of worldly desires, and are of those who will
assuredly perish."
Allah-u-Abha
