There is the praise of you elevated souls having both authorities in your hands – the authority of ruling and the authority of religion. This praise is remembered of your future reward. Those who are kings now will have a right to the kingdom in the future. Souls who are embodiments of dharna at this time will attain the authority of religion. The authority of ruling means to be an embodiment of all rights. A soul who has the authority of ruling will, through having all rights, be able to use all his physical and subtle powers as and when he wants. This authority is the sign of the authority of ruling. The second sign of those who have the authority of ruling is that they will have every task carried out with law and order. To have the authority of ruling means to have the power to sustain your subjects as their mother and father. The authority of ruling means to be always full of everything oneself and also to keep others full. To have the authority of ruling means, in particular, to have all attainments – to have happiness, peace, bliss, and love – to be full of the treasures of all virtues.  

In the same way, to have the authority of religion means to experience yourself to be a soul who has the power of dharna within you: for instance, to experience yourself to have the power of the dharna of purity. With the power of purity you become constantly and supremely worthy of being worshipped. With the power of purity you transform the impure world. The power of purity cools down souls who are burning in the fire of vices. The power of purity liberates souls from the bondage of their sinful actions of many births. Those who have the authority of religion will be humble in every act they perform. To the extent that they are full of their dharna of virtues, that is, to the extent that they are embodiments of the fruit of their virtues, they will accordingly also be full of humility.
