O thou who art attracted to the Kingdom of
God! Every soul seeketh an object and cherisheth a desire,
and day and night striveth to attain his aim. One craveth
riches, another thirsteth for glory and still another yearneth
for fame, for art, for prosperity and the like. Yet finally all
are doomed to loss and disappointment. One and all they
leave behind them all that is theirs and empty-handed
hasten to the realm beyond, and all their labours shall be
in vain. To dust they shall all return, denuded, depressed,
disheartened and in utter despair.

But, praised be the Lord, thou art engaged in that
which secureth for thee a gain that shall eternally endure;
and that is naught but thine attraction to the Kingdom of
God, thy faith, and thy knowledge, the enlightenment of
thine heart, and thine earnest endeavour to promote the
Divine Teachings.
