After a meeting of Bahá’ís at the Javanmardi’s home in LaSalle, QC, Canada, I walked over to him and, in the course of our conversation, I asked him a question. I have never forgotten and will always remember so clearly his answer as if it was yesterday after the past twenty or thirty years. He bent down a little, as I am much shorter than him, and said these three simple words, “I don’t know.” While his words were short and honest, it was the effect on me that was stunning! The only way I can explain it is to use the words of the Universal House of Justice, “…his manner was imbued with a luminous gentleness, a genuine kindliness and a natural dignity which combined to reflect the character of a saintly personality.” I don’t recall what the question was, but I will always remember his response.
