The faithful are never at rest. Theirs is such a pressing endeavour that they have no time for it. Fortunately, in their enlightened condition, they have little need of it either.

A few hours of blank eyed meditation upon the recorded voice of the leader is all that they require. It's certainly more than they deserve. For although they strive to bring the leader's love to others they often fail, blunting the truth and the beauty of his message with their own inadequacies.

Luckily for them, he is as forgiving as he is wise. Back at the centre his appointees are always ready to help those who fail to meet their quotas. Under the leader's guidance these people have perfected a variety of educational techniques. Some involve fasts or cold baths or public humilation. Others involve silence or darkness or spiders, or things which are unique to the individual.

Things which are secret.

It is sometimes a hard life, but it is worth it. Anything is worth it to know that, however worthless they are, the leader loves his followers and will protect them from the world outside.
