(2) inspired interpretation of Islam۔Probably they thought that this grey bearded man was mad just as the peoples of old thought every prophet and his disciples were mad۔But those who thought so were made themselves۔The sheep that does not recognize the shepherd is mad and destined for destruction, for it becomes the prey of that old wolf- Satan; and loses all hope of salvation۔My dear friends and children! No country and no people are absolutely without any seekers after truth۔The voice which was taken ´as the babble of a mad man by many, began to attract some of those who were destined to be the pioneers and torch-bearers of truth in the United States of America۔May be some of them are still alive, may be none are۔Even if all of them have left this world, their spirits might be hovering over your heads just now seeing in you the seed which is being broadcast by God in the wilderness, as well as in some well prepared soil, to grow in time and become a heavy crop to give a new life to missions and millions of people of your country۔My friends and children! Ahmadiyyat is the message of God Almighty and not a scheme conceived by any mortal being۔So you should look upon it as such and try to follow it literally and with great care۔No good citizen breaks the law of his country and so is the case of a true believer۔He knows that the law of God is based upon infallible philosophy and is for his good and betterment۔So always try and strive to know more and more about Islam and Ahmadiyyat, so that your actions may be in complete accord with the law chosen for you by your Creator۔God Almighty says in the Holy Quran۔"To-day I have brought to perfection the spiritual code according to which you have to live and thus I have filled for you the cup of my blessings to its very brim۔" This verse shows that every order and injunction given by the Holy Quran is for the spiritual uplift of man and not as an arbitrary order to make the human beings feel their serfdom to God۔God has nothing to gain if we follow "The Law"۔It is we who benefit from it and so the person who is lukeworm in his obedience to the law in letter and in spirit, is himself the loser۔Woe to him who finds the door of heaven opened for him but turns his face and goes astry۔So I advise you with all the love I bear for you, to avail yourselves of this great opportunity of being pioneers of the truth in your country
