 | | The Very first song begins with "Yatha Ahu," the Principle of Choice. |
 | | In order to bring peace, prosperity, stability, progress and happiness to the living world, people are to select only competent persons who are able to free the world from mental and physical wrongs, and lead it to truth, precision, progress, wholeness, and immortality. |
