734 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION These revelations that Bābū Ṣāḥib published against me cover a period of about one year. The revelations that he had received for about six years after this, i. e. until the time of his death, were held back by him for some unknown expediency. Otherwise, it is evident that a person who receives so many revelations in one year must have received many more over a period of as many as six years. But now, I do not think these revelations will ever be published; for, as I have always heard, they were all about my failure and my suffering chastisement. Now, as God Almighty has given His judgment, why would his friends publish such revelations? In fact, they would have hastened to consign them to flames. And if they were not burnt then Munshi 'Abdul-Haqq, who was his foremost friend, should state under oath whether the flow of reve- lations had completely ceased after the publication of Așă-e-Mūsā, to the extent that he did not receive even a single revelation for six years. If only the remaining revelations had also been published, it would have demonstrated the truth even further. Those who have come into obstinate opposition against me on account of their own selfish motives, will never follow the path which would reveal the truth. God, however, shall not relent until He makes truth manifest. If I am a liar and an impostor, then my end will be the same as Bābū Ilāhī Bakhsh's end, but if the Lord of Honour and Glory is with me He will not let me die in a manner that I am engulfed by the curse of God. This is so because His age-old practice, in relation to the truthful, is that He never lets them be destroyed. Although, during their interim period, people might, on account of their ignorance, raise objections and find fault with those who are truthful, but, ultimately, God makes their acquittal manifest. In fact, this sightless world has never spared any of the Prophets. The Jews still insist that not a single prophecy of Ḥaḍrat Īsā [Jesus] has ever been fulfilled. He claimed to be a king but remained without a kingdom. He promised Judas Iscariot a throne in Heaven, but this promise too was not fulfilled. Then he foretold that his second com- ing would take place during those very days, but that proved false also.
