Offer thou thanks to God that thou couldst finally attain to Truth. Then
be thou firm and steadfast so that the doors of the most Great Bestowals
may be opened unto thy face. The greatest of all questions is
steadfastness and firmness. Every tree which is firmly rooted grows.
(August 10, 1920. Translated by Azizullah Bahadur)
[Tablet of December 8, 1920]
O thou heavenly person! (Mr. Kenjiro Ono)
Praise be unto God, that having rent asunder the veils and having seen the
rays of the Sun of Reality, thou didst turn thine attention to the Center
of the Covenant.
Rest thou assured that thou wilt be confirmed to give sight to the blind
and hearing power to the deaf and even thou wilt give life to the dead!
(December 8, 1920. Translated by Azizullah Bahadur)
[Tablet of August 19, 1920]
O ye daughters of the Kingdom! (Six school girls; Otoe Murakami, Kimiko
Hagiwara, Kazu Fukusawa, Haruko Mori, Yuri Takao, and Yuri Mochizuki)
Your congratulation on the Feast has been received. Its perusal imparted
joy and happiness. Through the Bounties of the Supreme Lord do I hope that
these daughters of the Kingdom will, day by day, progress so that they
may, like unto a magnet, attract the Divine confirmations. I am always
supplicating for you that ye may attain to the Most Great Bestowal and act
and behave according to the Teachings of His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh.
(August 19, 1920. Translated by Azizullah Bahadur)
[Tablet of August 19, 1920]
O seekers for the Truth! (revealed to nine persons, eight of whom were
young men students)
Praise God that you have heard the celestial Call, seen the ray of the Sun
of Truth, followed the right Direction and reached the longed-for Home!
You have sent me your congratulations for the Feast: I was very much
gratified at your feelings and at the fact that such a tie exists now
between East and West, such friendship between different nations!
It is evident that, through your efforts, the inhabitants of those regions
are now inhaling the fragrances of Musk from the Garden of the Kingdom. In
Japan the divine proclamation will be heard as a formidable explosion, so
that those who are ready will become uplifted and illumined by the Light
of the Sun of Truth.
(August 19, 1920)
[Tablet of January 11, 1921]
O ye daughters of the Kingdom! (the previously mentioned six school girls)
The reflection of your forms (photograph) arrived in this Holy Land.
Praise be unto God, these figures are luminous. From your eyes the light
of the love of God is emanating. This picture has been taken while ye have
been in the utmost of joy and happiness. Praise ye God, that in this age
of youth ye have entered the Kingdom of God! Ye have become enlightened.
Ye have become celestial, divine and heavenly.
