24 “Yes, Your Lordship ! call it so if you interpret it that way, but it was given to me, rather conferred upon me like a Degree at a GHOSTLY UNIVERSITY CONVOCATION by your Death God." Replied the boasting Master Mover-Bribe Master and continued. THOU SHALL NOT KILL ! is meant to hide only in the Religious Books of the earth and not in the living practice."
What do you bluff, you beastly bloody liar? it is a gross lie. Do you mean that our Deathgod will ever give such a grave license to you, the bloodiest beast on earth? You are degrading him, devaluating him. You cannot corrupt influence or hypnotize him, through your petty ways, means and tricks.

He sat straight and tight on his huge throne and ordered his assistant to pronounce charge sheet against this "MASTER CRIMINAL OF THE EARTH AND INFILTRATING ENTRANT OF HIS KINGDOM” without proper and valid documents.
His Assistant began to charge him----
This trespasser who calls himself as "The Master Mover" has unscrupulously and unqualifiedly trespassed here into our kingdom from the Earth, where he has committed greatly heinous crimes against his countrymen and mankind and yet he wants to go to see the highest most authority of this Godly Kingdom, “God the Supreme, the Lord of ETERNAL TRUTH, BLISS AND JOY(SAT-CHIT-ANANDA), THE DIVINE”. "Firstly: He has forgotten the simple requirements, the plain qualification, that THOSE WHO ARE PURE IN HEART CAN ONLY CROSS THE GATE UNTO HIM!
