Abd-ru-shin’s

civil name was
Oskar Ernst Bernhardt.

During the years 1923 – 1938 he gave lectures
which he later combined into the work

“In the Light of Truth”

He addressed the following words to readers of His Grail Message: “I had already pointed out in 1927 that the readers should heed only the Word Itself and not the bringer. To examine the works seriously and to accept from them only that which each person can recognise for himself with real conviction as right, is my special advice, because benefit can arise for him only upon such a foundation.”
