Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 10 570 Paigh a m-e- S ul h [ A Message of Peace ]. After a while he said, ‘You have seen me. Now you may go. ’ However, they requested that they be addressed and said that this was the purpose of their visit. Due to their insistence and sincerity, the Promised Messiah as addressed them as follows (which he narrated on 24 May 1908 before Asr Prayer). The Promised Messiah as said: The truth of the matter is that if a couple of things were not found in you, you would be a hundred times better than the Aryas etc. The first among these is that you should worship God, who has created you and me, and is the True Provider, believing Him to be One without any partner. In this wor- ship, no idol should be associated with Him—no other god or goddess, rock or mountain, snake or beast, mother Ganga or Jamna, tree or plant; and He should be worshipped as the One and Only God. What was the need to create these 330 million gods that you have made and why were they made? No one else in the entire world has these many gods. Upon hearing this much of his address, these ladies asked him, in their quest for truth, if he could please expound upon this matter. The Promised Messiah as said: Look, beggars are of two kinds—one a transient beggar and the other a stubborn beggar. The attitude of a transient beggar is that he makes a plea once and then moves on to the next door. It is good if he gets something, otherwise he moves on to the next door. Sometimes people even have to run after them to give them charity. Their job is just to make their call and move on.
