Truth has Come—Views of Aryas 41 What is the Government’s wrongdoing or negligence in this mat- ter? Who is the murderer the Government is showing reluctance in apprehending, and with what proof do the Aryas wish to have the Government arrest him? However, the Government cannot interfere with the prophecies of God. The more the Government seeks to investigate this matter, the more it will discover these prophecies to be heavenly, absolutely unadulterated, and pure. This Government is of the People of the Book [i. e. Christians] and does not deny the existence of God, who has knowledge of the unseen and can foretell what is to come as though it has already taken place. Is it impossible for God to specify the period of six years, to inform that it would be the day after Eid, and to convey how the death would take place? If such a thing is impossible for God, then how can it be possible for a man to make such a proph- ecy with all these specifications? Is it possible for man to give such accurate news of events that would occur in the distant future? If it is, then present one such worldly example. This Government should take pride in the fact that during its rule, God is establishing that type of connection with some of His servants, the likes of which are only found in the form of tales and stories written in books. This country has been blessed in that heaven has drawn close to the earth, the like of which is not found in other countries! It is necessary to relate here that I am in receipt of several letters written to me from various parts of Punjab informing me of the incitement of some Aryas and their inappropriate plots. I have kept these safely and shown them to some local Aryas. The contents of a letter I received from a distinguished and wealthy gentleman from Gujranwala are presented here.
