An Instruction to Visit the Centre

The Promised Messiah(as) states: People place their hand in my hand and repeat the words that they will give precedence to religion over worldly affairs, but when they leave from here they forget this promise. What benefit can such people derive if they do not come here to visit. The world has seized them. If they truly gave precedence to their faith over the world, they would take time out to come here.1
