He should not let any idea that is against this take hold. No matter how large a sacrifice is offered to achieve this goal, it will not be considered too large. So, I advise every well-wisher of the Community and every person who does not desire a spiritual death for himself to remove any such thoughts from his heart. Otherwise, he would be betraying himself as well as the nation.”
