In myself I know that, even if I went back to the work of disseminating
knowledge, yet I did not go back. To go back is to return to the previous
state of things. Previously, however, I had been disseminating the
knowledge by which worldly success is attained; by word and deed I had
called men to it; and that had been my aim and intention. But now I am
calling men to the knowledge whereby worldly success is given up and its
low position in the scale of real worth is recognized. This is now my
intention, my aim, my desire; Allah knows that this is so. It is my earnest
longing that I may make myself and others better. I do not know whether I
shall reach my goal or whether I shall be taken away while short of my
object. I believe, however, both by certain faith and by intuition that there is
no power and no might save with Allah, the high, the mighty, and that I do
not move of myself but am moved by Him, I do not work of myself but am
used by Him. I ask Him first of all to reform me and then to reform through
me, to guide me and then to guide through me, to show me the truth of
what is true and to grant of His bounty that I may follow it, and to show me
the falsity of what is false and to grant of His bounty that I may turn away
from it.
