O CHILDREN OF NEGLIGENCE AND
PASSION!
Ye have suffered My enemy to enter My house
and have cast out My friend, for ye have enshrined
the love of another than Me in your
hearts. Give ear to the sayings of the Friend
and turn towards His paradise. Worldly friends,
seeking their own good, appear to love one the
other, whereas the true Friend hath loved and
doth love you for your own sakes; indeed He hath
suffered for your guidance countless afflictions.
Be not disloyal to such a Friend, nay rather hasten
unto Him. Such is the daystar of the word of truth
and faithfulness, that hath dawned above the horizon
of the pen of the Lord of all names. Open
your ears that ye may hearken unto the word of
God, the Help in peril, the Self-existent.
