ne Great Perceptive Power which comprehendeth all, cometh to the
Center, the differing opinions become united, and ideal unity and oneness
are revealed.

For example: When His Holiness, the Spirit (Jesus Christ) appeared, the
comprehensions of the creatures, the susceptibilities and minds of the
sects then present, such as the Romans, the Greeks, Assyrians and
Israelites were different. When the universal power of the Spirit of God
appeared in the Center, eventually after three-hundred years, all the
differing minds gathered under the protection of One Center. The same
spiritual susceptibilities were attained.

For the sake of illustration (literally, likeness), I will say: When an
army is under the command of generals who have differing opinions,
certainly it will disagree in regard to maneuvers and in the order of
marching to the battlefields. But when the great commander-in-chief who is
expert in the arts of warfare cometh to the front, all the differing
opinions will be erased and one opinion will prevail; the
commander-in-chief will bring all under his own direction. This is an
instance and not a likeness.

Now if thou shouldest say, the generals of this army are every one artists
in the art of warfare, expert and experienced, why should they obey one
person, even though he may have accomplished a great feat--this saying does
not deserve attention, for this matter is certain and there is no doubt
therein.

Likewise the Holy Manifestations, especially the reality of the Greatest
Name, the Beauty of Abha, when unveiled amid the assemblage of the world,
like unto Joseph of Canaan, in the divine Egypt, will appear with such
Beauty and Sweetness as to make the lovers of the world His captives.

As to the souls who are born into this world radiant entities and who
through excessive difficulty are deprived of great benefits and thus leave
the world--they are worthy of all sympathy, for in reality this is worthy
of regret. It is for this purpose (that is, it is with regard to this
wisdom) that the great Manifestations (of God) unveil themselves in this
world, bear every difficulty and ordeal--to make these ready souls dawnings
of light and confer upon them eternal life. This is the real atonement
that His Holiness Christ made--He sacrificed Himself for the life of the
world.

As to the question that the holy and spiritual souls influence, help and
guide the creatures after they have cast off this elemental mould--thi
