The Descent of the Messiah — Page 93
HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMADAS know well that even if you possess eyes, you still require the heav- enly sun. Similarly, the sight that beholds God does not come through your own conjectures; it, too, is dependent upon a Sun, and that Sun likewise sends down its light from heaven, and it is the Word of God. No knowledge can be perfected without God's Word. God's Word is like an intermediary between God and man. When it descends, it arrives with the light of God. Whenever it descends upon someone with its full splendour, grandeur, Divine majesty and power, it carries him to heaven. In short, there is no other way of reaching God except through the Word of the Almighty. 93
