102 Essence of Islam-IV Messiah will descend and no blood-thirsty Mahdī will appear. He who was to come has come, and I am that one fulfilling God's promise. He who does not accept me, fights God for having sent me. [Majmü'ah Ishtihārāt, vol. 3, p. 520] Why do you wonder if I have come as the Messiah; the breeze of the spring carry the fragrance of the Messiah. There is great eagerness in heaven in support of the call of truth; Angels are descending upon the well dis- posed. The independent thinkers of Europe are turning in this direction; the pulse of the spiritually dead has be- gun to beat suddenly. The wise are saying goodbye to the Trinity; they are devoting themselves to the Fountain of Tauhid. An elegant flower has blossomed in the garden of the Ummah; An intoxicating fragrance is flowing from the garden. I perceive the fragrance of my Joseph; and, though you might call me mad, for him I wait. Listen to the voice of heaven, which proclaims: The Messiah has come, the Messiah has come; Also listen to the earth which proclaims: The victorious Imām has arrived. The heaven is showing signs and the earth says, This is the time; These two witnesses are desperately cry- ing out for me. It is now only in this garden that you will find rest and comfort; Hurry up, O' you roaming in the wilder- ness, for there is time still!
