Mahzarnama (The Memorandum) — Page 194

194 Mahzarnama abide by what the Self-Subsistent Being has commanded. Just as God decided between His prophets and those who rejected them, so shall He decide now. There is a time for the prophets to come and a time to depart: do mark it for sure, that I have neither made a seasonless appearance, nor shall my exit be unseasonable. Don’t fight God. It is not for you to destroy me!" [Tohfae Golarviyyah, Roohaani Khazaa’in vol. 17, pp. 49-50] "In the sheer name of God, I remind my opposing divines and their ilk that abuse and invective is not the way of gentlemen. If in your warped thinking, you insist on this misdemeanour, so be it. If you must take me as an impostor, you have also the option to assemble in your mosques and pray against me individually or in congregation. Were I an impostor, those prayers will certainly be answered. For the matter of that you always pray gainst me. “But do remember! Even if the profusion of your prayers were to lacerate your tongues, if you rub out your noses in prostration and your eylids rot on account of tears, your eyelashes fall, your eyesight gets impaired because of excessive crying, and your mind becomes blank to end up in malencholia—even then those prayers shall not be heard, because I am from God. . . . No one can die on this earth unless his death is ordained in the heaven. My soul is blessed with the same truth which was bestowed on Hadhrat Ibrahim, on whom be peace. I have an Ibrahim-like affinity with God. No one knows my secret but my God. My opponents are fortuitously engaged in self-destruction: I am not the plant which can be uprooted by their hands. . . . O, God! Do Thou have mercy on this ummah. Amen!" [ Arba'een, Roohaani Khazaa’in vol. 17, pp. 471-472 ]
