Likewise, when the souls are released from the fetters of the world, the
imperfections of mankind and that animalistic darkness, and have stepped
into the Realm of Abstraction, have partaken a share from the outpouring
of the Placeless and have acquired lordly perfections, they are the
“ransomed ones” (or the martyrs) of the Sun of Truth, who are hastening to
the altar of heart and soul.
“O Thou Pure God!...”
O Thou Pure God!(155)
Gaze providently at the beloved ones and the dear maid-servants in
Chicago. Confer upon them Thy bounty and grace. Teach them the law of the
Kingdom, burn away the veil of material superstition and light the candle
of Thy love in their hearts!
O God! The clay (or being) of these servants is kneaded with the water of
fidelity and the nature of these maid-servants is adorned with love! They
believe and are assured. they are firm and steadfast; they are kneeling
and worshipping; they are uttering (the Words) and are informed. Render
them confirmed and victorious with the hosts of strength. Aid and gladden
them through the angels of the Kingdom of Abha! At every moment reveal a
new power to them and with every breath confer a great bounty. Thus with a
heavenly power, divine strength, merciful fragrance, supreme light, and
conscious attraction, may they arise to serve Thee, to perfume the East
and the West with the fragrances of holiness, establish the universal
peace, promulgate integrity and honesty, to adore the truth, become a
means of life to the people of the world, a cause of comfort and rest to
them; to help the spiritual meeting, to serve the gathering of the Lord,
to send well-informed souls (teachers) to other regions and climes, to be
self-sacrificing with life and heart, to build the Mashrak-el-Azcar, to
raise the anthem of sanctity to the Supreme Kingdom, to live in perfect
love with one another; nay, rather, to be the cause of rest ot whole
world, to adorn the realm of creation, to destroy the edifice of jealousy
and envy and to establish the law of love and unity, to be truthful
servants of mankind and conscientious well-wishers of the human race!
O God! Thou art the Able, the Powerful! Thou are the Confirmer and the
Helper in all conditions and circumstances!
“O thou whose breast is dilated (with joy) for the Kingdom...”
O thou whose breast is dilated (with joy) for the Kingdom of Truth!
Verily I read thy letter which showed that thine inner heart is attracted
to the Beauty of God and that thou hast entered the Kingdom of God. I beg
of god to make thy feet firm in this right path and to protect thee from
violent tests and form calumnies on the part of every woman who hath, like
unto Judas Iscariot, turned away from the True One and who hath withdrawn
herself and is deprived of the mercy of God.
