24 December 1907 29 holy guidance in the Arya faith and also the holy elders of Aryas who came afterwards like Raja Ramchandar and Krishna were all holy people and were from among those who are blessed by God. Behold what a charming teaching it is which lays the foun- dation for reconciliation in the world and aims to unify all the nations of the world as one people; in other words, respect- ing the holy ones of all other nations. Who is oblivious to the fact that the root cause of bitter animosity is the contempt for the Prophets and Messengers who were accepted by millions of their people? How is it possible for someone to hurl filthy abuse upon one’s father and then expect the son of the abused to be pleased with him [the abuser]? In short, we have come to you with this principle in our hand that you be a witness that we have embraced your holy ones as being from God on the basis of the aforementioned cri- terion, and we anticipate that you will do the same out of your spirit of reconciliation; that is, you will at least concede that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is a legitimate Prophet of God Almighty and truthful [in his claim]. The argument that I have presented to you is a very lucid and clear argument. If we cannot reconcile with this method, then you should remember that reconciliation will never take place and the grudges will continue festering. 1 1.
