O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!
Verily, I read thy letter of thanksgiving to God, for He hath illumined
thy heart with the light of the Mightiest Guidance, dilated thy breast
through the fragrance of the garden of His Kingdom, the Abha, caused thee
to speak His praise in that remote and extensive country, and hath enabled
thee to guide souls who are attracted to the beauty of God and enkindled
by the fire of His Love at this moment.
By the Lord of Hosts, God hath ordained for no one greater good than this,
or any spirit more brilliance than this, or any spirit more activity than
this.
Were the dominions of the whole, entire earth to be thine, it would not
equal this great dominion which is no other than spreading the guidance of
God. Forasmuch as the earthly dominion is like unto the kingdom of Edward
VII, king of England, his coronation day became unto him the day of
griefs, the day of sorrows, and the days of moaning; his joy was changed
into abundant sorrow, and the light of happiness was transformed into the
darkness of a gloomy night. This is the condition of the world, its honor,
its dominion, its glory and affluence.
But as to thee—O thou who art attracted unto God! —thou hast established
an eternal and everlasting throne through the guidance of God, and hast
become crowned with a diadem, the gems of which scintillate throughout
centuries and ages; nay, rather, for cycles and periods!
This throne cannot be shaken by the powers of the earth and its
calamities; nor can incidental obstacles, worldly impediments, or all the
diseases and ailments prevent or delay this coronation.
For this is under the protection of God and His preservation, defended by
His guard and in the stronghold of His patronage, and is watched over by
the eye of His mercifulness. therefore, thank thou God forevermore!
Deliver my greetings to the attracted maid-servant of God thy honorable
wife, and bear unto her the glad-tidings of the graces of her Lord.
“O thou whom I mention with my heart and tongue!...”
O thou whom I mention with my heart and tongue!
Though I do not see thee with mine eyes, I do see thee with my heart, and
mention thee with the fullness of love, clemency, yearning and attraction,
supplicating my Lord that we may meet together at the meeting of His
Kingdom and the pavilion of His might, where we shall chant the verses of
thanks for His bounty, generosity and gifts, the lights of which have
shone upon all horizons and their effulgences have become intense upon the
hearts of the people of harmony.
O thou my dearly beloved! Hasten! Hasten! to the gifts of thy Lord, the
Merciful! Come to the Benefactor; avail thyself of this opportunity and
take thy portion of this Greatest Treasure in this promised day!
“O thou spiritual youth and merciful young man!...”
O thou spiritual youth and merciful young man!
