Servant
But those who have been servants of the divine beauty are never forgotten. The result of their works is everywhere visible. What king is there of two thousand years ago whose kingdom has lived in the hearts? But those disciples who were devoted to God -- poor people who had neither fortune nor position -- are today trees bearing fruit. Their banner is raised higher every day.

Quote of the Day
Jalal 6 Kalimat 183 B.E.
But man hath perversely continued to serve his lustful appetites . . . With this, and with the perpetrating of vile and ignoble acts, his attention was engrossed, and he abandoned the temperance and moderation of a natural way of life. The result was the engendering of diseases both violent and diverse.
