His Holiness disliked wasting time in unnecessary formalities. In regards to this, the Promised Messiah (as) said: “My state is that I even feel regret when answering the call of nature, for all the time that is wasted. This time too could be better spent in some religious work.” The Promised Messiah (as) also said: “When an important task of a religious nature arises, I deem food and drink, and sleep to be forbidden on me, until I have completed the task at hand.” The Promised Messiah (as) further stated: “I am devoted to the cause of religion, in fact, I live for the sake of religion. Therefore, all I desire is that nothing obstructs my way in the path of religion.”
