The prophet is an interpreter of the divine law in human tongue. He is an ambassador of the spiritual hierarchy; he represents to humanity the illuminated souls known and unknown to the world, who are hidden and manifest and who are in the world or on the other side of the world. The prophet is an initiate and initiator; he is an answer to the cry of humanity, of individuals and of the collectivity. He sympathizes with those in pain, guides those in darkness, harmonizes those who are in conflict, and brings peace to the world, which when excited with the activity of centuries always loses its equilibrium.
