278 <strong>THE</strong> <strong>GOD</strong>-<strong>MAN</strong>I say, because none c<strong>an</strong> grasp the me<strong>an</strong>ing underlying my words. It is natural for even my intimate m<strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong>alinot to underst<strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong>; but I w<strong>an</strong>t you to take everything that I said in <strong>Meher</strong>abad during the meetings veryseriously, because all I said was the truth; they were the words <strong>of</strong> God, <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> all the things said must come topass in exactly the m<strong>an</strong>ner described by me.From the day I declared in <strong>Meher</strong>abad that there will be the destruction <strong>of</strong> three-fourths <strong>of</strong> the world,that a str<strong>an</strong>ge disease will attack my body, that I shall suffer humiliation, that I shall break my silence <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong>speak one Word, the Word <strong>of</strong> words, that there will be my glorification, <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> that finally I shall drop mybody when I shall be stabbed in the back, my lovers <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> others have been confused, trying to interpret mywords in different ways.Everyone is free to interpret my words in <strong>an</strong>y way they think <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> feel. But one thing I tell you, thatwhenever I say a thing, I naturally use my own 'l<strong>an</strong>guage', <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> whatsoever is said by me is truth. But, my'l<strong>an</strong>guage' is such that none c<strong>an</strong> underst<strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> or grasp the underlying me<strong>an</strong>ing <strong>of</strong> what I say; therefore, whenI w<strong>an</strong>t to say a thing I have simult<strong>an</strong>eously to make use <strong>of</strong> your l<strong>an</strong>guage also, knowing well that youwould underst<strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> nothing whatsoever if I were to make use <strong>of</strong> my 'l<strong>an</strong>guage' alone.In order to help you to underst<strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> my Final Declaration <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> to put <strong>an</strong> end to your confusion <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> worry, Iw<strong>an</strong>t you all to know that when you saw me dictate on my alphabet board during the Meetings at<strong>Meher</strong>abad, <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> heard about:(1) A str<strong>an</strong>ge disease attacking my body: was said in your l<strong>an</strong>guage.'(2) <strong>The</strong> humiliation that I shall suffer: was said in your l<strong>an</strong>guage.(3) <strong>The</strong> breaking <strong>of</strong> my silence <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> my uttering the one Word <strong>of</strong> words: was said in my own 'l<strong>an</strong>guage' <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong>simult<strong>an</strong>eously in yours, because when I utter that word, it will be <strong>an</strong> audible word to you.(4) My Glorification: was said simult<strong>an</strong>eously in my 'l<strong>an</strong>guage' <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> in yours.(5) <strong>The</strong> destruction <strong>of</strong> three- fourths <strong>of</strong> the world: was said in my own 'l<strong>an</strong>guage' alone.(6) <strong>The</strong> stab in the back: was said in my own 'l<strong>an</strong>guage' alone.(7) <strong>The</strong> dropping <strong>of</strong> my body: was said in my own 'l<strong>an</strong>guage' <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> simult<strong>an</strong>eously in yours.Consequently, whatever is said by me in your l<strong>an</strong>guage, you are able to underst<strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> <strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong> know what issaid; but, that which is said in my own 'l<strong>an</strong>guage' is impossible for you to underst<strong><strong>an</strong>d</strong>, however much youmay try to interpret the me<strong>an</strong>ing behind my words Only the fulfillment
