The Fire

From Aryez

Book 32 of the Marfat

32: The Fire

1. There is a fire that can never be

2. extinguished; no wind can blow it out

3. nor any water quench it. It burns

4. eternally, giving life to the righteous

5. and consuming the evil-doers and

6. turning them into ashes. It is a

7. light so bright that not all the darkness

8. in the world can overcome it or

9. put it out. It is a desire that rages

10. in the hearts of all men, a hunger

11. in their hearts and minds. It calls

12. out to all, for so great is its power.

13. It is the weapon of the truthful and the

14. bane of the hypocrites, traitors, and liars.

15. Like a bright streak that never goes out, it always

16. illuminates the dark sky and pierces the

17. thick fog. Those who have seen it have

18. a light shining in their eyes like no other

19. light. For this fire is the flame of

20. God.

Commentary: This literary passage describes the glory of the righteousness of God. The founder also said that fire is an extremely sacred substance in which one can feel the awesome and mystic power of God.
