The Grail Message Volume 1

THE BANDAGE falls, and belief becomes conviction. Liberation and redemption lie only in conviction! I am addressing serious seekers only. They must be able and willing to examine this matter objectively! Religious fanatics and irresponsible enthusiasts may hold aloof, for they are detrimental to the Truth. As for the malevolent and prejudiced, they shall find their sentence in the very words.
BETWEEN 1923 AND 1937, Abd-ru-shin wrote 168 essays & lectures, which he assembled to form the book In The Light of Truth: The Grail Message. Since then, the Grail Message has been translated into 19 languages and is available in over 90 countries worldwide.

Among all books of spiritual content, this work occupies a truly unique place. It can be said that The Grail Message gives an explanation of the World, for it offers a complete survey of everything that exists between God and us human beings.
It is the author’s declared intention with his work to lead seekers again closer to life – indeed, back to God. Therefore the Grail Message always addresses itself to the individual alone, irrespective of nationality, race, or religion. For the individual alone must bear the responsibility for everything he thinks and does, just as every man “shall reap what he has sown”.
Out of love, the Grail Message helps the earnest reader to gain personal conviction about his own life’s path and purpose, so that peace and happiness may be his. The more the reader uses life itself as his criterion for testing the explanations given in the Grail Message, the more the Truth shines forth from it.
THE AUTHOR WRITES:

“I wish to fill the gaps which have so far always remained unanswered in the souls of men as burning questions, and which never leave any serious thinker in peace, if he honestly seeks the Truth.”
“In order to convey to mankind such knowledge, which gives them a clear and intelligible conviction of the working of God in His Justice and Love, I have written the work ‘In the Light of Truth’.”

The Message will strike only those who still carry within them a spark of truth, and the yearning to be true human beings. To all such it will become the shining light and staff. It will lead them unswervingly out of all the chaos of the present-day confusion.
The following Word does not bring a new religion, but is intended as the torch to help all serious listeners or readers find the right path, which leads them to the longed-for height.
Only he who bestirs himself can advance spiritually. The fool who uses extraneous aids for this, in the form of the ready-made opinions of others, only walks his path as if on crutches, while ignoring his own healthy limbs. But the moment he boldly uses all the abilities which lie dormant within him awaiting his call, to help in his ascent, he is employing the talent entrusted to him in accordance with his Creator’s Will, and will easily overcome all obstacles that seek to divert him.
Therefore awake! Genuine faith lies only in conviction, and conviction comes solely through an inflexible weighing and examining! See that you are truly alive in the wonderful Creation of your God!
