 All of you are companions. Therefore, continue to make progress whilst considering yourself to be responsible to this extent. Those who put on the crown of responsibility for the transformation of themselves and the world will claim a right to the crown of the world kingdom. Those who wear this crown at the confluence age will also have a crown in the future. If you don’t wear this crown now, you cannot have it in the future either. The present is the basis of the future. Look in the mirror of knowledge and check both your forms: your form of effort at the confluence age and the form of your future status. Examine both your forms and then check whether you have a double crown in your present life or just a single one. One is the crown of purity and the other is the crown of your study and service in your practical life.  

Similarly, your body, mind and wealth are connected. From the beginning until now, for how long have you surrendered your body for service here? For how long have you been using your mind for service and remembrance? Serving through the mind is having good wishes and elevated feelings. Whilst you serve in this way, is your service limited or unlimited? Do you have good wishes and elevated feelings for everyone, or is it that you have them for some and not for others? Similarly, do you use your money for yourself with selfish motives or do you use it selflessly for service?
