[Tablet of August 4, 1904] |
Thou hast been earthly, I hope that thou wilt become heavenly;
thou hast been gloomy, I desire that thou wilt become luminous. Thou
wert wandering in the wilderness, thou hast found a way to the abode
of the Beloved One; thou wert a thirsty fish, thou hast attained to the
endless Ocean; thou wert a roving bird, thou hast reached the divine
24
Rose Garden; thou wert spiritually sick and thou hast found real health!
|
Now is the time that thou shouldst entirely abandon the comfort,
ease, enjoyment and the life of this transient world, and wholly
arise to guide the people of Japan, illuminating faces, perfuming nostrils
and conquering, through the heavenly hosts and divine reinforcements,
the hearts of the people of that region.
