O MY FRIENDS!
Have ye forgotten that true and radiant morn,
when in those hallowed and blessed surroundings
ye were all gathered in My presence beneath the
shade of the tree of life, which is planted in the
all-glorious paradise? Awe-struck ye listened as I
gave utterance to these three most holy words: O
friends! Prefer not your will to Mine, never desire
that which I have not desired for you, and approach
Me not with lifeless hearts, defiled with
worldly desires and cravings. Would ye but sanctify
your souls, ye would at this present hour recall
that place and those surroundings, and the truth
of My utterance should be made evident unto all
of you.
