essential. It is incumbent upon every man of insight and understanding to
strive to translate that which hath been written into reality and
action.... That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicateth himself to the
service of the entire human race. The Great Being saith: Blessed and happy
is he that ariseth to promote the best interests of the peoples and
kindreds of the earth. In another passage He hath proclaimed: It is not
for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him
who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its
citizens.
“THE All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the...”
THE All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the pulse of mankind. He
perceiveth the disease, and prescribeth, in His unerring wisdom, the
remedy. Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular
aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions
can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be
anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your
deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.
We can well perceive how the whole human race is encompassed with great,
with incalculable afflictions. We see it languishing on its bed of
sickness, sore-tried and disillusioned. They that are intoxicated by
self-conceit have interposed themselves between it and the Divine and
infallible Physician. Witness how they have entangled all men, themselves
included, in the mesh of their devices. They can neither discover the
cause of the disease, nor have they any knowledge of the remedy. They have
conceived the straight to be crooked, and have imagined their friend an
enemy.
Incline your ears to the sweet melody of this Prisoner. Arise, and lift up
your voices, that haply they that are fast asleep may be awakened. Say: O
ye who are as dead! The Hand of Divine bounty proffereth unto you the
Water of Life. Hasten and drink your fill. Whoso hath been re-born in this
Day, shall never die; whoso remaineth dead, shall never live.
“O PEOPLES of the earth! God, the Eternal Truth, is My...”
O PEOPLES of the earth! God, the Eternal Truth, is My witness that streams
of fresh and soft-flowing waters have gushed from the rocks, through the
sweetness of the words uttered by your Lord, the Unconstrained; and still
ye slumber. Cast away that which ye possess, and, on the wings of
detachment, soar beyond all created things. Thus biddeth you the Lord of
creation, the movement of Whose Pen hath revolutionized the soul of
mankind.
