“The Blessed the Sublime God has embedded four things in four other things. He has embedded His Pleasure in His obedience. Therefore, you should not underestimate obedience to God. It may cause God’s Pleasure while you do not know it. God has embedded His Wrath in disobeying Him. Therefore, you should not underestimate any disobedience to God. It may cause God’s Wrath while you do not know about it. God has embedded His Response to supplications. Therefore, you should not underestimate any supplications. It may cause God to respond to you while you do not know about it. God has embedded His Friends amongst His Servants. Therefore, you should not belittle anyone, since he may be a friend of God and you may not know about it.”
