I ask God to adorn your heads with the pearls of His favor, to ignite in
your hearts the fire of the love of God, to free your tongues in utterance
of eloquent words and excellent meanings and mysteries in the gathering of
the pious, to make ye roses of the paradise of El-ABHA, angels of heaven,
united in opinions, harmonious in thoughts and to manifest in your faces
signs of holiness of the Kingdom among the people.
Soon will your Lord make you growing trees in His wonderful vineyard,
blossoming, leafing and bearing fruits of the paradise of El-ABHA through
the shadow of His Name, the Merciful, the Clement.
“O ye crying voices in the region of America!...”
O ye(27) crying voices in the region of America!
Make level the path of the Covenant of God! BE firm in the Alliance of
God!
I surely read your answer to my words, and my heart overflowed with joy
and fragrance, when I heard of your supplication to God, and of your
entreaty to God, and of your begging assistance of God, and of your
endeavor in the service of the Cause of God, and of your effort in
publishing the Alliance of God, and of your yearning after and your
longing for harmony and union in the love of God.
Ye shall soon behold the lights of confirmation shining forth unto your
hearts and your spirits from the Kingdom of ABHA.
Stand up, as the standing of the souls by whose lights of sincerity in the
Cause of God the horizons are shining, and guard the sheep of God with the
staff of the instructions of God.
I beg God to confirm thee to His will, as He confirmed the Apostles (of
Jesus) aforetime.
I know, verily, that the universal, never ending, eternal, bright and
divine establishments are only the diffusing of the breaths of God, and
the spreading of the instructions of God, and all that are beside these,
though they be the reigning over all the regions of the earth, or the
construction of railroads from the earth to the heavens, or means of
transportation with the rapidity of rising lightning from the globe of
earth to the globe of the sun, all are but mortal, perishing, demolishing
and disadvantageous, in comparison with the divine establishments. Because
the latter (divine establishments) are intrinsic matters, while the former
are but metaphorical matters; the latter are truth, while the former are
imaginary.
Verily, I yearn after your visit as the yearning of the thirsty after the
fountain of the water of Euphrates (agreeable water), but at present your
remaining in that region (America) is obligatory. Please God, when it will
be the occasion, I will inform you to come; and (now) I will
circumambulate instead of you the Holy Tomb.(28) Glory be upon you!
“O thou son of the associate and companion of Abdul-Baha!...”
O thou son of the associate and companion(29) of Abdul-Baha!
