…God, the Almighty Creator, does not have to justify His
choice of a race or nationality from which to raise up a Manifestation. As all
sacred scriptures tell us, He does as He wills and shall not be asked of His
doing, and we bow in humility before Him. Besides, as you must know,
conceptions of race, nation, oriental, occidental, and the like reflect earthly
limitations and are not qualifications attached to the reality of the soul in
the limitless realms of God.
