penetration of the Word of God, he is serving the Cause day and night with
the utmost fidelity, no scent of selfishness is inhaled from his manners
and deeds, and no trace of egotism or prejudice is seen in his
personality--nay rather is he a wanderer in the wilderness of the love of

O ye Cohorts of God! Strive ye that this human world may be changed into a
luminous realm and this mound of earth become the Paradise of ABHA.
