O maid-servant of God! Be not disheartened if thou hearest the murmuring
of the deniers, the clamor of the hypocrites, the shouting of the
contradictors, the barking of the furious, harmful dogs, in those climes.
Remember the persecutions which consecutively befell the disciples of
christ from the perverse Jews. Consequently, withstand their oppositions
with all quiescence and dignity (patience) and their contradictions with
all cheerfulness, gladness and dilation of heart (i.e., exaltation) by day
and night. Resist their fighting with peace and reconciliation, their
blows with kindness and perfection and their blame with joy and
tranquillity. Do beseech God to direct them to the Path of Salvation and
breathe into them the Spirit of Life. Be thou a light to every darkness, a
dispeller of every sadness, a healer for every sick person, a quencher for
every thirst, a shelter for every refugee, a refuge for every captive. If
the Pharisees interfere with thee, it is incumbent upon thee to implore
God to guide them to the road of salvation! And it is incumbent upon thee
to be affable to them under all circumstances, to be patient in
afflictions, to be courteous with the enemies and to pray for the hateful
sinners! This is the nature of the faithful and convinced women believers
whose hearts are dilated with the fragrances of God and who instruct
(people) in the teachings of God!
O maid-servant of God! Trust in the grace of thy Lord. He shall surely
assist thee with a confirmation whereat minds will be amazed and the
thoughts of the men of learning will be astonished. Consider the divine
splendors in Green Acre: One of them is the tree of fire and another is
what was witnessed by thy friend—a light shining forth unto all sides.
This is through the grace of thy Lord unto thee! Consequently, be engaged
in perusing St. John’s Revelation; all these signs are spoken of in that
vision. Thou shalt soon behold (things) still greater than this.
O maid-servant of God! It is incumbent upon thee to diffuse the fragrances
of God and to be occupied in delivering (teaching) the Cause of God!
Deliver my greeting to ........ and say unto them: “Trust ye in the grace
of your Lord and thank your Master, for He hath directed you to the Path
of the Kingdom of God. Verily He is the Assister, the Beneficent!”
The coming of any one to these countries is, at this time, difficult and
unallowable. I beg of God to facilitate it and then we will permit
........ to come. I beg of God to manifest His lights in the heart of
........ so that he may apprehend that which he never before apprehended
and behold the mysteries of the Kingdom with real certainty in this
glorious age.
God willing, next year some of the teachers (of the Truth) will present
themselves at Green Acre and will cause the voices of the people of the
Kingdom to reach the Supreme Apex.
“O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God and...”
