Through the graces of His Holiness, Bahá’u’lláh—may my life be sacrificed
for His friends—I cherish the hope that ye will, day by day, progress more
and more in the Kingdom of God; that each one of you will shine like unto
a brilliant star from the horizon of the supreme Guidance, thus proving to
be the cause of guidance unto others, giving sight unto their eyes,
hearing power unto their ears and quickening unto their hearts.
(January 11, 1921. Translated by Azizullah Bahadur)
[Tablet of September 9, 1920]
O thou blessed soul! (Miss Mikae Komatsu, who in later years was known as
Mrs. Tadako Arakawa)
Thy letter was received. It was not a letter. It was a scent bag of the
musk-deer from which the fragrance of the love of God was perceived. After
I read it, I turned to the Kingdom of the Merciful and supplicated so that
thy soul may become purified; that thy heart may be converted into a
brasier of the fire of the love of God; that in every moment thou mayest
find the Light of Truth radiating; that thou mayest kindle the lamp of
Guidance; that thou mayest seek heavenly joy and happiness, and mayest
consecrate thy life to the service of the Heavenly Father.
I feel the utmost kindness toward thee. And I pray, through the Infinite
Bounties, for a spiritual dynamic force and a heavenly blessing unto thee.
Convey to all the friends my greetings and love.
(September 9, 1920. Translated by Azizullah Bahadur)
[Tablet of October 15, 1920]
O thou who art seeking the Truth! (Mr. Sensui Saiki)
Thy letter has been received. Thou hast taken much pain in inventing the
new Japanese writing. Thou hast rendered a service to the world of
humanity—May God reward thee!
Today, however, there exist many kinds of writing. That which is most
necessary and is assisted by divine confirmations is the propagation of
the heavenly Call. It is this which energizes the world of existence. It
is this which bestoweth life unto the dead souls, which refresheth the
dried tree and ornamenteth it with leaves, blossoms and fruits.
Concentrate all thine energy in this that thou mayest make heavenly
progress, that thou mayest attain to the light of the Sun of Reality, that
thou mayest become the cause that the dead body of Japan may attain to
heavenly life, may be endowed with solar illumination and like unto the
moon and star it may shine forth.
This is important! Convey on my behalf the warmest Abhá greetings to all
the friends one by one.
(October 15, 1920. Translated by Azizullah Bahadur)
[Tablet of June 1, 1921]
O thou who art devoted to Truth! (Mr. Kenkichi Futakami)
