I pray God to confirm the relatives in attaining to the Brilliant Light,
to let the light of Insight shine forth to the hearts and sights; to aid
thy friends in being illumined by the Light of El Bahá and fed from the
Heavenly Table, and to make thee empty, void from the thoughts of the life
of this world and filled with the Love of thy Lord, ready for His service,
uttering His Praise and demonstrating with proofs the appearance of the
Kingdom of God.
(Translated by Mirza Ameen, Chicago, Illinois, January 25, 1903)
[Tablet Translated August 14, 1909]
O thou seeker of the Kingdom!
Thy letter was received. I prayed at the Court of Holiness to deliver thee
from the darkness of the attachment to this world, enlighten thee by the
Divine Illumination and purify the mirror of thy heart, so that the Rays
of the Sun of Truth may shine therein.
Permission is granted thee to marry Mr. W ... W ... but thou must try with
heart and soul to guide him and cause him to enter under the Shade of the
Covenant and Testament, so that ye may become united as one soul in two
bodies and be engaged in the service of the Kingdom.
(Translated by Ahmad Sohrab, Chicago, August 14, 1909. Received in
Honolulu, September 8, 1909)
[Tablet of Translated August 16, 1913]
O maid-servant of God!
Thy letter was received. Thou hast written something about Mr. Remey. In
reality that youth is the son of the Kingdom and the herald of the
appearance of Bahá’u’lláh. All the believers of God and the maid-servants
of the Merciful must summon the people to the Kingdom and be the means of
the guidance of their souls. They must live and conduct themselves in such
a manner so that they may become distinguished above other people in
sanctity, prayerfulness and humility. I hope that thou mayest attain to
this station and become the cause of the diffusion of the Manifest Light.
(Translated by Ahmad Sohrab, August 16, 1913, Ramleh, Egypt. Received in
Honolulu, September 15, 1913)
[Tablet Translated October 31, 1913]
O thou dear daughter!
Thy letter was received. It became the cause of infinite rejoicing for it
expressed eloquently thy faith and thy turning thy face toward the Kingdom
of God. This light of guidance which is ignited in the lamp of thy heart
must become more brilliant day by day and shed its light to all parts.
Therefore, if thou travelest toward Japan unquestionably Divine
confirmations shall descend upon thee.
Convey the utmost kindness to Mrs. ... on my behalf and say: The doors of
the Kingdom of God are open, the Call of the Lord of the Kingdom is
raised, the Bestowals of the Almighty are endless and the effulgence of
the Sun of Reality has illumined the East and the West. In such a time
patience and tranquility are not allowable. Thou must engage with infinite
joy and happiness in the mention of the Forgiving Lord.
(Translated by Ahmad Sohrab, October 31, 1913, Ramleh, Egypt. Received in
Brooklyn, New York, January 1914)
[Tablet of August 4, 1914]
