The hosts of the Kingdom will assist (thee) and the heavenly armies will
protect and defend thee. Wherefore seek bounties as much as thou canst.
“O thou who art supplicating unto God!...”
O thou who art supplicating unto God!
Verily I mention thee always and shall never forget thee forever and ever.
I beseech God to make thee a sign of guidance among the people and a lamp
of dazzling light in that extensive and large city, so that pure and good
souls may be illuminated by the light of the knowledge of God and thus
serve the Merciful Threshold by showing earnest desire for love, peace,
affinity and harmony with the people of all religions. Verily the Spirit
through which the temple of the contingent world shall be quickened in
this time is indeed the founder of peace, the spirit of affinity and the
light of love. This is that whereby this being of existence shall evolve
and develop and the world of humanity be adorned with the raiment of glory
and honor. Therefore it is incumbent upon thee to enkindle thyself with
the fire of the love of God in order that thy words may have an effect in
hearts which are as of hard stone.
“O thou young, incomparable tree of the Rose-garden...”
O thou young, incomparable tree of the Rose-garden of the Love of God!
Thank thou God that thou art planted beside this heavenly stream, has been
favored with the inexhaustible outpouring, hast been trained and developed
by the rain of the cloud of the Kingdom of God and hast brought forth
fruit under the care of the Divine Gardener. Now it is the time to cast
the shade and produce delicious fruits and impart sweetness to the palate
of the spiritual ones. Exert [thyself] with heart and soul. Do not rest
one moment, neither do thou seek after composure. Give thou to others the
glad-tidings of the Kingdom and announce to them the manifestation of the
signs of the Realm of Might! This is from the bounty of God. He bestoweth
to whomsoever He willeth. Verily God is the Possessor of great gifts!
“O thou who hast approached toward God!...”
O thou who hast approached toward God!
Verily I have received thy letter and my heart was dilated by the content
of thy expression, for it indicated the illumination of thy heart, the
spirituality of thy soul, thy detachment from all the grades of this
nether world and thy yearning after the effulgences of the Realm of Light.
By the glory of my Lord, I declare: “Verily the splendors of divinity are
continually descending upon the pure, enlightened souls and the outpouring
of the Kingdom fall tumultuously, like unto torrents, upon the favored
realities from the rains of the providence of thy Lord, the Merciful, the
Clement!
