O maid-servant of God! Verily, the picture (photograph) is an indication
of what is in the heart of man. There are faces which are rejoiced and
brilliant like unto the garden of paradise and faces which are dusty and
dark and are covered with the dimness of fire.
Verily I beg of God that He may strengthen thee in whatever matter thou
mayest undertake and unto which thou mayest advance.
O maid-servant of God! Thy heart shall surely have attractions and
revelations through the power of the Beauty of El-ABHA, which will be
followed by glad-tidings and signs, in every minute and instant. Verily, I
reveal unto thee in spirit and address thee in heart, a speech which will
open unto thee the doors of mysteries which are concealed behind veils.
When mirrors become pure and the lights shine, the signs of the Sun of
Truth shall reflect therein with most wonderful splendors.
O maid-servant of God! Verily, I have not forgotten thee and will not
forget thee. Trust thou in the love of Abdul-Baha, for verily, nothing
equals it.
O maid-servant of God! Verily, the Household(97) present unto thee
greeting and praise, with all longing and attraction.
“O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!...”
O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!
I pray to God that He may cause to descend upon thee a heavenly blessing,
quicken thy heart with the Holy Spirit into an everlasting life and make
thy heart a source of merciful sentiments; so that thy breath may become a
quickener of the souls, thine attractions may move the heart of the world,
thy strong love may attract the hearts of men, and that thine abundant
affection may become a mercy to mankind in the world of existence. Verily,
my Lord is Powerful, Potent and the Bestower!
Be thou loving to every afflicted one, a dispeller of sorrows to every
grieved one, a refuge to every fearful one, a heavenly food to every
destitute one, a balm to every wounded one, a consolation to dejected
hearts, a blessing to unfortunate souls, a treasure to every begging one
and a succor to every lamenting one—so that thou mayest be a banner of
guidance and the essence of piety among the maid-servants of thy Supreme
Lord. Verily, thy Lord is the Beneficent, the Gracious, the Bestower!
“O maid-servant of God!...”
O maid-servant of God!
***I beg of God that He may make [that place] a center of merciful events
and a point whereon the lordly favors may fall; and that He may make thee
so ablaze with the fire of His love that the flame of the love of God may
pervade all those parts.
“O thou dear maid-servant of God!...”
O thou dear maid-servant of God!
