The Great Being saith: The man of consummate learning and
the sage endowed with penetrating wisdom are the two eyes to the body of
mankind. God willing, the earth shall never be deprived of these two greatest
gifts. That which hath been set forth and will be revealed in the future is but
a token of this Servant’s ardent desire to dedicate Himself to the service of
all the kindreds of the earth.
