I am yet hopeful that even in a condition of hiding the reality, God shall not leave them unpunished 1 , for the disrespect of a prophecy of God is akin to the disrespect of God Almighty Himself. Malawamal is also guilty of the offence that he – having witnessed all this, out of opposition and with full force and hostility – published an announcement, on which ten years have passed, and stopped people from turning towards me and financially assisting me. Then, the consequence of him stopping people was that after this an - nouncement, many hundreds of thousands joined me and hundreds of thousands of rupees were received, yet he still did not feel the Hand of God. In the end I consider it important to write that the is upon such an oath similar to what I have written. If these people, freeing themselves of the fear of God, swear such an oath in order to please their nation, then they shall learn that God also exists.

It does not please God if someone veils the truth by uttering falsehood, for it means he attacks the Dignity and Magnificence of God. It is for this reason that, in the end, God seizes him. (Author)
