Today I would like to speak on the subject of the different aspects of the Sufi Message. The Sufi Message, having the character of a prophetic message, has five different aspects of work.

The first is warning humanity of the coming danger.
The next aspect is bringing about a friendly understanding between the followers of different religions.
The third aspect is giving the form of universal worship in which people of all different denominations may offer their prayers to the God of humanity.
The fourth aspect is interpreting in the terms of the day life's secret to the generality.
And the fifth aspect of the Message is guiding the seeking souls on the spiritual path.

Since these five different missions the Sufi Movement has to carry out, in order that the Message may reach all people in all parts of the world, naturally the need of helpers is felt every day more and more. When we see how few we are in number, and when we compare our limited actions with the great object we have before us, we cannot for one moment look at the success of our Movement hopefully, except that by our unchanging and everlasting faith. Besides, a few sincere workers can perform miracles, whereas thousands of workers who have not that spirit may not be able to accomplish. Therefore for us there is no need of being disappointed. We must be hopeful. Only we must be conscious of the fact that the work is great, and we are too few. And we must hope that this condition will change. And we must do our best to change it. Besides this, if there are many occupied in the spreading of the Cause, one can say, "Well, I will rest, because my friend is doing." But as we are so few we cannot rest. We must do everything possible for the spreading of the Cause.
