essing all these
faculties he must not leave them unused. He who is so hard-hearted as to
think only of his own comfort, such an one will not be called man.
Man is he who forgets his own interests for the sake of others. His own
comfort he forfeits for the well-being of all. Nay, rather, his own life
must he be willing to forfeit for the life of mankind. Such a man is the
honor of the world of humanity. Such a man is the glory of the world of
mankind. Such a man is the one who wins eternal bliss. Such a man is near
to the threshold of God. Such a man is the very manifestation of eternal
happiness. Otherwise, men are like animals, exhibiting the same
proclivities and propensities as the world of animals. What distinction is
there? What prerogatives, what perfections? None whatever! Animals are
better even--thinking only of themselves and negligent of the needs of
others.
Consider how the greatest men in the world--whether among prophets or
philosophers--all have forfeited their own comfort, have sacrificed their
own pleasure for the well-being of humanity. They have sacrificed their
own lives for the body politic. They have sacrificed their own wealth for
that of the general welfare. They have forfeited their own honor for the
honor of mankind. Therefore it becomes evident that this is the highest
attainment for the world of humanity.
We ask God to endow human souls with justice so that they may be fair, and
may strive to provide for the comfort of all, that each member of humanity
may pass his life in the utmost comfort and welfare. Then this material
world will become the very paradise of the Kingdom, this elemental earth
will be in a heavenly state and all the servants of God will live in the
utmost joy, happiness and gladness. We must all strive and concentrate all
our thoughts in order that such happiness may accrue to the world of
humanity.
"THE QUESTION OF SOCIALIZATION IS VERY IMPORTANT. IT WILL NOT BE..."
The question of socialization is very important. It will not be solved by
strikes for wages. All the governments of the world must be united and
organize an assembly the members of which should be elected from the
parliaments and the nobles of the nations. These must plan with utmost
wisdom and power so that neither the capitalist suffer from enormous
losses nor the laborers become needy. In the utmost moderation they should
make the law; then announce to the public that the rights of the wor
