196 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of which are all washed away by the effects of the pool—and sought to prove his divinity, it would be necessary for that person to show a miracle them - selves as well. Otherwise, today, there is no logic or philosophy that can prove the divinity of a man, who weeps the entire night and whose prayer is not even accepted, and whose life history establishes that he was a man of lowly stature. Hence, I say with confidence, and God Almighty knows well that I am truthful. Moreover, experience and a large number of signs have illuminated my truthfulness even further to such an extent that if Jesus Christ is the living God, and if he is the source of salvation for those who lift up the cross, and if he accepts their prayers even though his own prayer was not accepted, then present any priest or Christian monk before me so that they may seek assistance and ability from Jesus Christ to manifest a miracu - lous sign. I am standing in the field of battle, and I truthfully declare that I can see my God, He is always before me and with me. I openly proclaim that the Messiah is not above me, because I am a representative of the light of Muhammad sas , which always establishes the signs of life by its radiance. Does a person need any more than this? In order to find peace and in order to behold the Living God, the soul has always possessed a burning desire and thirst, and without heavenly manifestations of succour and signs, this is impossible. I say with confidence that this light and life is not present within the Christians; in fact, it is I who possesses this divine truth and life. I have been publishing announcements for the last 26 years and it is strange that not a single Christian priest has ever come forward to accept my challenge. If these people possess signs, why do they not present them to establish the glory of the Gospel? On one occasion, I published and distributed 16,000 announcements in English and Urdu; there must be some remaining cop - ies left in our office even now. Anyway, not a single person came forth to manifest a miracle in favour of Christ’s divinity and to support this ‘idol’ as it were. In reality, since there is nothing in this regard, what can a person present? To summarise, these are the three ways in which to recognise the truth, and all three of them are non-existent in the Christian faith. Thank God that you have received a good opportunity and you have come here. You will benefit greatly by the sequence in which I present each address. You should listen very carefully and when you have no remaining objec - tions, put down your signature on it, so that our time does not go to waste p. 462
