opponents. And one cannot reach that stage of faith unless he stays in the company of the righteous person who has been sent to the world to give their faith back to the people. Unless a man has got his faith back, he must stay with this righteous person; to go away from him is to do something unlawful. It is so because this man is like a child in the lap of his mother and he can take only milk that the mother gives; if this child goes away from the mother, he is sure to die within a short time. (Malfoozat Vol. II, p. 259) BEAUTIES OF RELIGION According to me the best way of spreading the religion is that its beautiful teachings penetrate into the hearts and no external effort is needed to be made for this purpose. There are certain things which are visible because of their own light, the example being the sun, the moon and the stars. There are other things that cannot be seen without the light of the things that have been mentioned above. They are the animals and the birds; we cannot see them unless there is light. The true religion penetrates into the souls with its light of truthfulness and it gets recognised by itself; it draws the hearts to its own side. That is why I said that the teaching of a religion is a great sign. The signs of a religion which lacks this sign (of Teachings) do not do any good to the people. The teaching that comes from the Heaven has a light with it and it is far above the ways of the human beings. When a man: causes death to his life and comes out of the dirty existence, then he receives a life in God and begins to realise the signs of a true religion. But this cannot happen without the grace of God, none can come out from the dirty life and receive a new one unless it is caused by God Himself who has given life to the whole world.
