So Said The Promised Messiah (as) — Page 27
Do you then think that he who has attained the nearness of God will not be anything by way of Signs that will mani- fest great and unlimited powers of God. You should remember that the jealousy of God does not permit that such a person (who has attained to the near- ness of God) should be abandoned, humiliated and pulverized. Never, that can never happen. Just as God is One, without partners, He likes to make His servants also chosen and dis- tinguished and matchless. Such a person is attacked from all sides. The one who attacks, being ignorant of the strength (of the person whom he is attacking) thinks that he will finish him up. But ultimately he comes to know that the fact that this person has not been hurt, is beyond human power and its source lies elsewhere. Had he known this before he would have never attacked him. Thus the people who attain to the nearness of God and are no ie~s than a Sign and manifestation of His, are con- sidered to be an easy prey-the one who opposes them, plans and struggles all that he can. But they are protected against all the attacks and they come out of this duel safe and sound and with great honour and respect. This is what surprises the opponent most. . (Malfoozat Vol. 1, p. 307) FRESH SIGNS I try to call the people to come and stay with me-at times I do so by making announcements that they should come. It is all because I should like to inform them of the God whom I have found and seen and that I should show the shortest path to reach Him-the path that ultimately makes a man Godly man. 27
