Call 72

Oh my servant, it is sufficiently ignorant that you may be contented that which you possess,

as opposed to that which I possess and that I should desire for you to choose Me,

while you seek to choose besides Me.

Woe to you! Never can true servitude coexist with the exercise of one’s choice,

nor any transgression with divine lights, and nor turning to Me with your turning to the creation!

Thus, either I am with you, or you are with yourself.

So choose with a guiding criterion, and do not forego divine guidance for perdition.
