[Revealed in 1913]
He is God!
O thou esteemed and kind friend!
After journeying throughout the United States of America,
and the great capitals and metropolis of Europe, I have returned to the East.
With the results of this journey I am most pleased and well satisfied—because I
met noble people and associated with worthy souls, who are in reality the cause
of honour and glory to the world of humanity. They were learned and wise,
well-informed of the realities of events and the well-wishers of the human
world, especially the advocates of universal peace.
In these days the world of humanity is afflicted with a
chronic disease. It is one of bloodshed, the destruction of the divine edifice,
the demolition of cities and villages, the slaughter of the noble youths of the
world of humanity, children becoming orphans and women homeless and
shelterless. What calamity is greater than this? What crime is more heinous
than this? What disease is more dangerous than this? What folly is more direful
than this?
Consider that in former days there were only religious wars,
but now there are racial and political wars fought at staggering expense and
sacrifice. A thousand times alas for this ignorance, this bloodthirstiness and
ferocity!
I became pleased with and grateful to the societies which
are organized in the West for the promotion of universal peace, and with whose
presidents, officers and members I frequently conversed. I hope that the sphere
of the activities of these societies may become from day to day enlarged; so
that the lights of the higher ideals may illumine all regions, the oneness of
the world of humanity be proclaimed in the East and in the West, and the world
of humanity may attain to composure and well-being. These revered souls who are
the servants of the world of humanity and the promoters of the cause of
universal peace shall ere long shine like brilliant stars from the horizon of
mankind, flooding the regions with their glorious lights.
