Godly People
I say it repeatedly that you should try to win the pleasure of God, for,
if God is kind to you the whole world will be kind and if He is annoyed,
nobody can avail you anything. When His wrath descends none in the world
will show kindness to you even though you may try to deceive the people
in various ways - by making use of rosary or dyeing your clothes yellow
or green; the people will take it to be a mean thing. Even if the world
is deceived for a few days, the glamour will go and the people will be disillusioned.
But he who comes from God, the world will not succeed in its plans of opposition,
however great the opposition. The people may call him names and curse him
but a time will come when the world will turn to him and will openly admit
his truthfulness. I tell you the truth that for whoever God is, the world
also becomes his. Of course it is quite true that those who come from God
are in the beginning opposed by the people and they are troubled and stumbling
blocks placed in their way. Never a messenger or a prophet has come to the
world who was not put to hardships. Everyone of them has been called a cheat,
fraudulent and a business (i.e. his claim is nothing short of exploiting
the people and a means of extracting money from them). But despite the fact
that millions of people wanted to shoot arrows at them, threw stones at
them, abused them, they did not care a fig for all this. There was nothing
that could stand in their way. They continued reciting the word of God to
the people. They continued delivering the message which they had brought
from God and they did not leave any stone unturned to see their message
reach their people. The trials and tribulations which they were meted out
by their people (who did not believe in them) did not make them slack rather
it added to their speed till the time came when God made their difficulties
easy and the opponents began to realise the truth of the matter. At that
time the opponents came to them and fell at their feet and admitted openly
that their claim was based on truth.
The hearts are in the hands of God and whenever He will, He changes
them.
