The Message Papers
The Message
The Sufi Movement is an embodiment, a body, which is being composed to deliver that Message which is the Message of God. Therefore my mureeds are the particles of that body, the organs; and the more they will realize that, the more they will know their responsibility.
But so long as they will not realize, they will stand apart, in spite of all devotion, thinking that the Message is the work of the Murshid. But in fact it is not so: the Message is the Message of God, and you all, including Murshid, make the Embodiment. It is the Embodiment that is to give the Message.
You all -- including Murshid -- are the servants of this Message. Our hearts have been connected in the link of initiation in the Sufi Movement; they are as one heart, and as one heart (is) offered to God, the perfection of love, harmony, and beauty, that it may become His shrine, and the need of the living God in the world today may be answered.
The more you will think, the more you will see the importance of the humble little work we are doing.
However small our number, still the power behind is great, and trusting in that might, we are working. We do not fear, because of lack of material means. Our hope is in Him Whose Cause it is, and we shall work upon that hope. The wealth for us is God Himself.
