Then, the Promised Messiah as said: “The second argument which proves this to be false is that no parallel for this concept can be found in the law of intuition. In fact, the law of intuition itself reflects the phenomenon of divine Oneness. Reverend Pfander has confessed in his books that if a person lives on an island where the Trinity has not been introduced, they will be judged by God according to the doctrine of divine Unity, and not Trinity. So, this clearly demonstrates that the law of intuition calls for Unity and not Trinity. For if the Trinity accorded with human nature, then this would have been the criterion by which to judge a person. The third argument which proves the falsehood of this doctrine is that all of the basic elements which God Almighty has created are spherical in shape. You may observe a droplet of water, the heavenly bodies and even the earth. All of these things are spherical in form because this is the shape of oneness. Therefore, if God was characterised by trinity, these things ought to have been triangular in shape. Notwithstanding all of these points, the burden of proof lies with the claimant. A person who believes in the Trinity is responsible for putting forth arguments in favour of this concept. Anyone who reflects with righteousness upon the points that I have made regarding divine Unity—citing the continuous practice of the Jews despite mutual disagreement between various sects on other issues, the mark that we see in the law of intuition present within us, and the parallels that are found in the physical law of nature—will come to realise that the extent to which emphasis has been put to promote the Trinity is a manifest injustice. It is human nature that one will never tread a path that causes unease. This is why most people prefer to walk on public ways as opposed to narrow trails, because they feel no fear or danger, and they know that these streets are more reli - able. Therefore, when this is a phenomenon that we observe on a daily basis, then why would anyone follow a path for the hereafter that causes unease, for which there is no sufficient, reliable, and most of all, living testimony. Now, the material world has carved thousands of avenues, but fortunate and blessed is the one who abandons the allure of this world and embraces a life of simplicity and devotion to God and sets out to search for the path that leads to God. Indeed, those who search for Him with sincere intention, find Him. p. 444
