Two Benefits of Bai‘at at the Hand of Promised Messiah(as)

Then he says:

Thus, there are two benefits of this bai‘at that is done at my hand. One is that the sins are forgiven and one is entitled to clemency in accordance with the promise of Allah. The other is that by repenting in the presence of the Apostle, strength is granted and man is saved from the attacks of Satan. Be mindful that the world should not be your objective when you enter this Movement, but your objective should be the pleasure of Allah, because this world is only a passing phase and will pass by one way or the other.1

Keep this world and its objectives and purposes entirely aside. Do not mix them with faith because this world is doomed to end, but the faith and its rewards are unending. (Malfuzat, vol. 6, p. 145)
