268 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION of Kalanaur, he may get it engraved in a stone and get a stamp made. I selected this Hindu gentleman for this task with the sole intention of making him a witness to this grand prophecy, and so that Maulawi Muḥammad Sharif should become a witness too. As a result, through the agency of the respected Maulawi, the signet ring was prepared at the cost of five rupees and delivered to me. It is still with me. Its tracing is: I received this revelation at a time when our means of livelihood and comfort were wholly dependent upon my father's meagre income. Not even a single person from the outside knew me, for I was an unknown individual lying in obscurity in a desolate village like Qadian. After this, God, in keeping with His prophecy, turned a world towards me and helped me financially with such successive victories for which I do not have the words to express my gratitude. Considering my dire con- dition, I did not expect that even ten rupees a month would come. But God Almighty, who raises the poor from dust and reduces the arro- gant to dust, helped me so much so that I can say with confidence that, until now, about 300,000 rupees, or perhaps even more, have already come. This income may be estimated from the fact that the monthly expenditure for the Langar Khanah [public kitchen] alone has been running at 1,500 rupees on an average for so many years, and other categories of expenses like the school etc. and the printing of books are besides it. Hence it is worth noting, indeed, with what clarity, might, and glory this prophecy has been fulfilled: أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ. [Is not God sufficient for His servant?] 1. Although thousands of rupees have come by money orders, many more have been given from devotees by hand or in the form of currency notes that came in letters. Some devotees sent currency notes or gold without disclosing their names and I still do not know what their names are. (Author)
