In cycles gone by, each one of the Manifestations of God hath had His own
rank in the world of existence, and each hath represented a stage in the
development of humanity. But the Manifestation of the Most Great Name--may
my life be a sacrifice for His loved ones--was an expression of the coming
of age, the maturing of man's inmost reality in this world of being. For
the sun is the source and well-spring of light and heat, the focal point
of splendours, and it compriseth all the perfections that are made
manifest by the other stars which have dawned upon the world. Make thou an
effort that thou mayest take thy place under the sun and receive an
abundant share of its dazzling light. In truth do I tell thee, once thou
hast attained this station, thou shalt behold the saints bowing down their
heads in all humility before Him. Haste thou to life before death cometh;
haste thou to the spring season before autumn draweth in; and before
illness striketh, haste thou to healing--that thou mayest become a
physician of the spirit who, with the breaths of the Holy Spirit, healeth
all manner of sickness in this famed and glorious age.
