When I grew up and came into full use of my senses, I came
to see that we were trying to resolve our problems by supplication (Dua) alone.
We sometimes do general supplication and, at other times, supplication of a
more specific and particular sort. More than half a century has passed, and I
have never seen that as a nation, our supplicate for victory over the infidel
nation has been accepted by God. Why this so? The supplications are not
accepted because there is no action with the supplication, and the law of
creation is that action itself is creation. Ever since we stopped taking action
and became dependent on supplication only the divine light departs from us, and
the fire fouls us to be a morsel of rich fuel. Oh, preachers! Oh, people of the
pulp! Oh, intellectuals of the nation! For God's sake, wake up the sleeping
nation and tell them that those nations that do not act become crippled
irritated, and enslaved.

What is the universe? It is a point, and this point is a
divine light, and the divine light is itself a light.
Every point is the imprint of luminescence (Tajalli). When
this imprint transforms itself into the divine light then it becomes Aura
(Jism-e-Misali). The display of the Aura is the physical body.
The physical body is built up as a structure of bones, flesh,
and muscle. The skin is a kind of plaster and color on this building. The life
of the human being who is made up of veins, arteries, nerves, bones, and flesh,
is nothing except senses.
