23 September 1906 443 dead. When the Promised Messiah’s prophecy about the Arya religion was published in February 1903 that a century would not pass that this religion would die, at that time, Pandit R a m Bhajdat strongly opposed it, and himself came to Qadian to give his lectures and mentioned this prophecy. Now that same Pandit R a m Bhajdat has said in the newspaper Prakash of September 11th that the present A rya Sam a j can never sur- vive for more than 100 years but will perish and become extinct. In addition, the new Arya, Dharam Pal, has published an article on the death of the A rya Sam a j in his magazine Andar. It seems likely that the latter became an Arya for the very reason of hastily proving the death of the Arya faith. So this was the discussion upon which the Promised Messiah, peace be on him, said that: Nothing can survive without spirituality, whether it be a faith, nation, or community. How can any religion survive in the world unless there is a solid relationship with God Almighty? Since there is no spirituality in the Arya religion, it is impos- sible for it to become established. All the Prophets knew only God. And opposed to this, are these people whose stomachs are full of thousands of deceptions and have nothing of spirituality. It is the power of God that all the Prophets who came into the world, their worldly affairs were such that they could not have succeeded in securing a job paying even as little as five rupees, but because they became God’s, they were endowed richly in religion and the world.
