Blessed are ye for organizing the assembly of unity! I ask God to confirm
you by the divine aid and strengthen you by the heavenly strength so that
every one of you may become a shining star by the light of the love of God
in the world, and banners moving by the breezes of love and peace on the
heights of glory among mankind; and lamps brilliant by the lights of
eternal majesty on the assemblies of men.
If ye keep firm in this path, ye will see by the eyes of joy signs
wherefore ye will thank your Forgiving Lord, and will be confirmed by the
hosts from the Supreme Concourse and angels from the Kingdom of El-Abha.
“O ye longing ones! O ye cheered ones! O ye attracted...”
O ye(120) longing ones! O ye cheered ones! O ye attracted ones! O ye who
are beseeching the Kingdom of God!
Blessed are ye, for ye have removed the covering; witnessed the lights of
the Sun of Truth which is shining from the horizon of bestowal; are
attracted by the fragrances sent forth from the garden of the Kingdom;
have arisen to praise the Lord of Grandeur and Might, and have resolved to
disseminate the teachings of God in those vast and extensive regions!
Truly I say unto you! Verily, ye have cast away superstitions; have
partaken an abundant portion from that Reality which is shining upon all
regions; have perceived the manifest signs, have entered the ark of
salvation and attained unto eternal life, under the shadow of the Lord of
Hosts, gazing unto the Most Honorable Station, enkindled with the fire
ablaze in the tree of existence, in the spot of Sinai; responding to the
call of the Clement One, severed from the world, and yearning for the
place of sacrifice in the path of Baha’.
You will surely hear from this call a ringing voice in the regions. Then
the nations will awake to this effulgence and hasten unto the fountain of
the Covenant; so that they may drink fresh and salutary water from the
grace of your Lord, the Clement.
At that time, the faithful shall be cheered, the sincere shall rejoice and
the yearning ones shall be drawn unto the unseen world, the Kingdom of
your Lord, the Merciful!
O ye beloved of God and His chosen ones! Trust ye in the divine
confirmation, the merciful bounty and the supreme bestowal. Verily, He
will confirm your hearts, dilate your breasts, make your tongues fluent
and will rejoice your souls by a grace from the Compassionate Merciful
One!
O ye beloved of Baha’! Do not look at your weakness, nay, rely upon the
confirmation of the Holy Spirit. Verily, It maketh the weak strong, the
lowly mighty, the child grown, the infant mature and the small great.
I beg of God that He may make you diffusers of His fragrances, servants of
His Cause, gazers unto His Face, speakers in His praise, and that He may
protect you against tests and trials, so that ye may become shining
lights, beaming stars, gleaming lamps and lofty trees. Verily, this is not
difficult with God!
