27 December 1906 71 Hinduism and Christianity Autumn has penetrated and holds sway over the Hindu and Christian religions. These religions have no effects and signs. I openly declare that they do not possess the blessings of a living religion. If I am telling a lie, I am ready for whatever punish- ment they propose for me. But the truth indeed is that they are devoid of spirituality and are totally dead. There are no signs of life in them at all. They are lying senseless and motionless. The adherents of these religions are holding on to a corpse. Because God, perfect belief in whom creates a true connection with Him, and then salvation is attained through this connection, that God is an imaginary being in their estimation about whose existence there is no clear argument. Is there any such person among them who makes the claim that he himself has heard God Almighty speak? That He has responded to his prayers, or, to distinguish him from others, He has, through His grace, bestowed such miraculous Signs upon him that establish a distinction between him and others? If any such person does exist, then present his Sign, but if not—and certainly there is not—then do not employ all kinds of tactics in accepting the fact that these religions have, in reality, become the targets of autumn. No other argument can stand in competition with the way in which this argument is clear proof of the existence of God Almighty that He speaks directly with His servant and mani- fests Signs; everything else is just conjecture.
