"I have made Farmans about unity in the Jamat, and I would like My Mukhis and Kamadias to ensure, to do everything possible, that there be unity in My Jamat. I have made Farmans about cooperation - cooperation between local institutions and central institutions. I would like My Mukhis and Kamadias to do everything possible to see that up-country institutions ( religious and material) coordinate their work properly with the central institutions. "
