QUESTION: Concerning the sacred verse: “Recite ye the verses
of God every morn and eventide.”
ANSWER: The intention is all that hath been sent down from
the Heaven of Divine Utterance. The prime requisite is the eagerness and love
of sanctified souls to read the Word of God. To read one verse, or even one
word, in a spirit of joy and radiance, is preferable to the perusal of many
Books.
