Man is the supreme Talisman. Lack of a proper education hath, however, deprived him of that
which he doth inherently possess. Through a word
proceeding out of the mouth of God he was called
into being; by one word more he was guided to recognize
the Source of his education; by yet another
word his station and destiny were safeguarded. The
Great Being saith: Regard man as a mine rich in
gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone,
cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind
to benefit therefrom. If any man were to meditate
on that which the Scriptures, sent down from the
heaven of God's holy Will, have revealed, he would
readily recognize that their purpose is that all men
shall be regarded as one soul, so that the seal bearing
the words "The Kingdom shall be God's" may be
stamped on every heart, and the light of Divine
bounty, of grace, and mercy may envelop all mankind.
The one true God, exalted be His glory, hath
wished nothing for Himself. The allegiance of mankind
profiteth Him not, neither doth its perversity
harm Him. The Bird of the Realm of Utterance
voiceth continually this call: "All things have I willed
for thee, and thee, too, for thine own sake." If the
learned and worldly-wise men of this age were to
allow mankind to inhale the fragrance of fellowship
and love, every understanding heart would apprehend
the meaning of true liberty, and discover the
secret of undisturbed peace and absolute composure.
Were the earth to attain this station and be illumined
with its light it could then be truly said of it: "Thou
shall see in it no hollows or rising hills." |
