Prophet Mani saw a human struggle between the spiritual light and a material world of darkness. His teachings, which focused on the unity of all religions, drew from Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Christianity. Prophet Mani was revered for His humbleness, compassion, and the spiritual salvation that He said could be attained by reconnecting with one’s true Self. What Is the Reward of Righteousness? “The purifying of the individual Soul from all defilement, and its victorious entry upon eternal life in the blissful Land of Light with God and all the Angels and happy Souls.” What Happens to the Wicked? “Those who deliberately prefer evil to good make the freeing of the Soul from matter impossible for themselves. Then they take birth after wretched birth in matter, till they become so grossly material that there can be no escape. And that is hell.” How Do Rebirths Come to An End? “When the Soul turns from bodily desires to a full yearning after the Spirit, from worldly pleasures to devotion for God, His Messengers, and His Church, it can no longer be born on a material plane, nor can it even wish to be.” What, Then, Is the Teacher's Part? “To awaken the Soul to its own latent divinity, to guide it on the purifying path, to carry it through the liberating door of death into the endless glory of the spirit.” How Does Man Find God? “Roused by God’s Messenger from the drunken sleep of fleshly ignorance, he realizes his identity with Spirit and his temporary bondage to the body; then he resolves to be free and patiently works at his own liberation— refining his thoughts and practicing all spiritual virtues till he is pure enough to see God in the hour of death.” Who Are the ‘Messengers of the Light’? “Saints and Prophets sent by God from age to age to teach men the truths of life and how they can attain to Him in whom alone all happiness is found.” What Is the Final Goal of All Life? “The freeing of the Soul from all defilement, so that it shines with God’s pure glory and can live eternally in the bliss of His realized Presence and a sort of mystical unity with Him.”
