          single eye in the congregation remained dry. All
        
        
          tongues responded to his call, and hearts leapt with
        
        
          the poignancy of it. He was obsessed with one thing
        
        
          alone: the nagging feeling of having spent his life in
        
        
          vain – the feeling of having fallen short of the divine
        
        
          standard. “O, my God, forgive us for all of our
        
        
          inadequacies and failures, and guide us along the
        
        
          right path!”
        
        
          Here is one prayer which is preserved on a
        
        
          tape: “O, my God, forgive us for our sins.
        
        
          Forgive us for our lapses in carrying out the
        
        
          work as deserved by your cause. We have
        
        
          pathetically failed in fulfilling the mission of
        
        
          the prophets, and we have engaged ourselves
        
        
          in worldly pursuits. God, save us from the
        
        
          depths of degradation we have fallen into and
        
        
          guide us along the right path. We are grateful
        
        
          to You for having shown us Your path and
        
        
          granted us the service of Your cause. Accept
        
        
          from us the struggles that we have made and
        
        
          bless our efforts. May You, God, establish
        
        
          peace and justice all over the world, and bring
        
        
          to an end corruption and cruelty. Help all of
