Thank God that He hath illumined thine insight, led thee unto the Fire
glowing in the Tree of Man, caused thee to utter His praise among the
creatures and guided certain women to whom thou delivered the Word of God.
O maid-servant of god! Verily thy Lord lighteth the lamp of love in the
heart of whomsoever He chooseth. This is indeed the great happiness. He
confirmeth him in the service of His Supreme Vineyard.
I pray God to confirm the relatives in attaining to the Brilliant Light,
to let the light of insight shine forth to the hearts and sights, to aid
thy friends in being illumined by the light of El-Baha and [being] fed
from the heavenly table, and to make thee empty, void from the thoughts of
the life of this world and filled with the love of thy Lord, ready for His
service, uttering His praise and demonstrating with proofs the appearance
of the Kingdom of God.
“O thou who art conscious!...”
O thou who art conscious!
At last thou didst learn of the path of salvation and didst find the
straight way. Now remain firm that thou mayest attain confirmation and
victory.
The powers of the sympathetic nerve are neither entirely physical nor
spiritual, but are between the two (systems).(131) The nerve is connected
with both. Its phenomena shall be perfect when its spiritual and physical
relations are normal.
When the material world and the divine world are well co-related, when the
hearts become heavenly and the aspirations grow pure and divine, perfect
connection shall take place. Then shall this power produce a perfect
manifestation. Physical and spiritual diseases will then receive absolute
healing.
The exposition is brief. Ponder and thou shalt understand the meaning.
Although, on account of lack of time, the answer is short, by close
reflection it shall be made long.
“O thou who art advancing to the Kingdom of God!...”
O thou who art advancing to the Kingdom of God!
On perusing the contents of thy brilliant letter, I became cognizant of
the secrets of thy heart, which is illumined by the clear light.
Verily, I supplicate my Lord to cause to descend upon thee an abundant
grace of the spirit of His Holiness, that thine eyes may become clear and
thy mind rejoiced by the gift which hath shone over all regions.
Know that the poor people hasten by parties to the Kingdom of God; the
weak become mighty before thy Lord, and the slaves when entering the
shadow of thy Lord attain the station of masters, lords and freed slaves
in the presence of God.
Grieve not because of my confinement, for it is a joy to my heart, a
pleasure to my spirit, a good news to my soul, an utmost desire of my
hope, an intended aim of my aspiration; because it is a confinement in the
path of God, the Lord of the worlds.
“O thou maid-servant of God!...”
O thou maid-servant of God!
