I have read thy brilliant letter which proveth thy humbleness before the
Divine Might and thy cheerfulness by the fragrances of God emanating from
the gardens of expressions and facts. I ask God to make thee, thy
relations and kindred attentive to the Merciful Mighty and the Supreme
Kingdom and to illumine their sights and hearts by the light of the
knowledge of God. And [be] thou rejoiced at the mercy of thy Lord and this
great abundance from the Kingdom of Mysteries. Be thou a strong and
fortified refuge and a high cave. This is naught else than to cut thyself
from everything beside God, to be drawn by the fragrances of God and to be
happy and joyful by the gift of God.
“O thou who art shining with the Kingdom’s Lights!...”
O thou who art shining with the Kingdom’s Lights!
Verily, I am informed of thine earnest desire for the Kingdom of God, thy
sparkling by the love of God and thy longing for the service of the sacred
and effulgent Threshold. I pray God to kindle and light the lamp of
knowledge in the glass of thy heart, so that it may shine upon all parts
of the world and bring thy husband to the life by the Spirit of Life,
assist thee to announce the good news by the illuminating Light, and
remove the covering of thy sight so that thou mayest see God’s Beauty and
His Essential Perfection, His astonishing profusion and His appearance to
the hearts and spirits. ***
“O thou maid-servant of God!...”
O thou maid-servant of God!
Thy letter *** was received; its contents were very sweet. The sweetness
of the meanings was unlimited. I ask God that thou mayest find rest and
comfort in the shelter of the holy Banner of Peace and Concord; become the
means of spreading the love of God; attain boundless health and security;
grow joyfully, day by day, through the glad-tidings; soar on high through
ecstasy and delight; sings the melody and proclaim the call, “Ya
Baha-ul-ABHA!”
O maid-servant of God! That call to which thou didst listen is from the
Kingdom of ABHA. Therefore, praise and glorify the Possessor of that Call,
so that the call may be repeated.
As to the interpretation of the vision, it is thus: Ascent from earth to
heaven indicateth growth in the love of God and development in the
knowledge of God. The more thou dost develop, the brighter and more
spacious becometh the pathway to the Kingdom. The building in front of
which thou didst stand is an edifice of divine edifices, a station of the
spiritual stations. I hope that thou mayest attain to that station, also
to other stations which are the other edifices.
I supplicate and implore the Kingdom of ABHA in behalf of thine honored
husband and all the family and the friends in Cincinnati. I pray that the
heavenly blessings may descend, the divine bounties become possible and
that thou mayest become a true caller of the Word of God.
“O thou who art turned to the Kingdom of the Lord, the...”
O thou who art turned to the Kingdom of the Lord, the Forgiving!
