Therefore, it is the same thing which I said: “The night is drawing nigh
and then no one can work.” Consequently, one must hasten to perform
something and show forth exertion.
“Thy letter was received. It became conducive to...”
(108) Thy letter was received. It became conducive to happiness. Up to the
present thou hast been serving in the Kingdom of God and hast been
assisted. I hope that, in the future, thou wilt become assisted more and
serve more. Praise be to God! Thou art watched by the glances of
Providence and art encircled with endless bounties. I hope that, day by
day, thou mayest step further, become characterized with a godlike nature
and disposition, manner and morals, in order that thou mayest become the
cause of the guidance of many souls and the instrument for the
illumination of a region.
“O thou beloved maid-servant of God!...”
O thou beloved maid-servant of God!
The letter, which thou hast forwarded through Mrs. ........ was received.
Thank thou God that thou art assisted in the thralldom of His Threshold,
art favored in the Kingdom, art heralding the Name of the True One, art
speaking of divine praises, art guiding the souls to the Sun of Truth, art
quickening the dead with the breaths of the Holy Spirit and art

Thou hast Mrs. ........ as thy partner and sharer, co-operating with each
other to serve, and hast lied in her house.

“O thou who art advancing toward God!...”
O thou who art advancing toward God!
Verily, I received thy letter, which showed that thou hast turned unto the
Kingdom of God and advanced toward the Beauty of El-ABHA.
Verily, thy Lord hath chosen thee for His love, elected thee for His
knowledge and selected thee for entering the Paradise of El-ABHA, so that
thou mayest attain to the mightiest bliss and greatest honor: It is no
other than the Light which is shining upon hearts and sights and the
Spirit which is thrilling and flowing within veins and nerves!
Verily, thou hast attained thereto, for thou hast acknowledged the Oneness
of God and His Singleness, and turned unto His Face, the lights of which
are shining from the horizon of the unseen, upon all regions!
“O thou who art attracted to the Call of the Kingdom!...”
O thou who art attracted to the Call of the Kingdom!
Thy letter was presented and I was informed of thy expression. And it was
glorious proof of thine abundant reliance upon the Kingdom of thy Lord and
of thine excessive love for thy great Master.
