Today the
confirmations of the Kingdom of Abha are with those who renounce themselves,
forget their own opinions, cast aside personalities and are thinking of the
welfare of others. Whosoever has lost himself has found the universe and the
inhabitants thereof. Whosoever is occupied with himself is wandering in the
desert of heedlessness and regret. The "master-key" to self-mastery
is self-forgetting. The road to the palace of life is through the path of
renunciation.
