My Dear, Loyal Brothers!
Although the benefits would have amounted to forty thousand liras and there was also need for it, I did not accept the car that five of our brothers had bought expecting nothing in return so that I might visit our brothers in other towns and to assist in the Risale‑i Nur's work, and this was supposed to be an apparent loss. But as a result, the Nur students obtained certain proof that, in the face of hostile hojas and politicians who, pleading necessity, cause harm by exploiting knowledge and religion for this world, the elevated truth of the Risale-i Nur does not stoop to any worldly advantages, nor can it be exploited for them. This incident provides a proof more powerful than its extraordinary wonder-working that effectively silences those hojas and politicians. Some of them, even, who were very suspicious and avoided the Risale-i Nur and did not believe that it stooped to absolutely nothing of this world, are now obliged to bow to its truth and to accept that it is above everything. That is to say, divine providence transformed the loss into a significant instance of mercy.
