It is reported thy home and shelter is burnt, thy resting place and
habitation is become desolate. Though this news is greatly affecting, yet
do not be sorrowful and disheartened, because the birds of the divine
gardens have nests on the branches of the Tree of Life. The earthly abode
is not worth the attachment of the heart, for this structure will surely
be destroyed, but that which is of worth to freed ones (detached from all
save God) is the heavenly palace and the court of Divine Majesty. Thanks
be to God that for each one of the divine freed slaves and the heavenly
and dear maid-servants, and indestructible mansion will be erected in the
New Kingdom. This mansion will be an everlasting dwelling, an eternal
abode and shelter.
There is a hidden wisdom in the burning of the house which before long
will be clearly known. Divine attractions and heavenly bounties alone
cause happiness to the hearts.
Use your utmost endeavors to dwell in the thought that in Green Acre this
year the divine proclamation will be raised to the heavenly zenith and the
lights of the supreme guidance will enlighten those regions.
Be sure that heavenly assistance will be given and that the breeze of the
Divine Garden will perfume the nostrils of the inhabitants of the earth.

drawing near, thy flag is raised higher and thy condition more excellent.
Show forth such happiness and joy that all will be astonished.

O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of the Kingdom of El-Abha!
I read thy letter which was beautifully composed and which indicated that

thou art with me in spirit at all times. I ask God to make thee follow my
example in establishing the Kingdom of Unity and Peace and building up the
Dominion of Love and Faith which was founded by the Beauty of El-Abha.
Rest and repose are necessary for thee in these days; be thou composed in
all conditions. Thou art with me under all circumstances. Then thank God
for His guidance unto thee. He hath made thee drink from a cup overflowing
with the wine of His love in the world. I ask God to make thee the essence
of holiness and purity among the maid-servants of the Merciful—thus thou
mayest be a brilliant flame in the universe.
All the Illumined Leaves, the maid-servants of God in this most great
prison, convey to thee greeting and praise.
