I hope that you will be under the protection of God, will
succeed in rendering service to humanity and will always be a source of
happiness to every heart. The best person is he who wins all hearts and is not
the cause of grief to anyone. The worst of souls is he who causes hearts to be
agitated and who becomes the cause of sadness. Always endeavor to make people
happy and their hearts joyful so that you may become the cause of guidance to
mankind. Proclaim the Word of God and diffuse the divine fragrances.
