Chapter I The Teaching of the Divine Word

  • 1. Sacred ministers, among whose principal duties is the proclamation of the divine word to all, are to hold the function of teaching in esteem since the citizens of Kailasa are first

brought together by the divine word, which it is certainly right to require from the mouth of the spiritual fraternity.

  • 2. Ministers have the right to teach the divine word everywhere, including in temples and oratories of religious institutes.
  • 3. Lay persons can be permitted to teach in a temple or oratory, if necessity requires it in certain circumstances or it seems advantageous in particular cases, according to the prescripts of the conference of ministers.
  • 4. Those who proclaim the divine word are to propose first of all to the citizens those things which one must understand for their enlightenment.
  • 5. They are also to impart to the citizens the doctrine which the magisterium of Kailasa sets forth concerning the dignity and freedom of the citizen, the unity and stability of the family and its responsibilities, the responsibilities which citizens have from being joined together in society.
  • 6. The Hindu doctrine is to be set forth in a way accommodated to the condition of the listeners and in a manner adapted to the needs of the times.
  • 7. At certain times according to the prescripts of the minister and his team, the teams are to arrange for those types of teaching which are called spiritual exercises and sacred missions or for other forms of preaching adapted to needs. They are also to make provision that the divine word reaches non-believers living in the territory since the care of citizens must also extend to them no less than to the faithful.
