40 Army officers would give us military salute. I pondered over this and came to the conclusion that if a Major General or C-in-C gave me a salute, it was no personal credit to me—besides I had no desire for this esteem nor any use for it—it was a homage to God’s honour Who had told the lonely Promised Messiah and Mahdi as that he should totally disregard the whole world as He stood by him. Then He showed that He was really behind the Promised Messiah and Mahdi as. In total disregard of the world and without fear we conversed and spoke and accepted these honours with a heart grateful to Allah, the Excellent; in fact one should aspire for estimation in the eyes of Allah, the Supreme. The applause of the world is as puny as are atoms eyes of the true believers in God. But that was a demonstration of the Glory of God, the Sublime, a flash of His might and His love. Christians were happily dancing about at our sight. Muslims were in a different state; they begged for prayer and cried profusely when they described their hardships though they were quite well-educated. We prayed for many people there and many of the prayers were heard.
