Be thou sure that, verily, thy deceased child is now one of those babes
who are suckled in the Kingdom of Life, under the charge of the Beauty of
El-ABHA. “Verily, God confirmeth whom He wisheth!”
“O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!...”
O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!
Verily I read thy excellent letter which contained thy praises of the
Supreme Lord. Verily I supplicate God to confirm thee in that which He
desireth, to protect thee from conceit and self-exaltation and from
selfish concerns, to make thee devoted unto Him and resigned unto Him and
to be the means of promoting the divine love amongst the dearly beloved of
God. And I beseech Him to preserve thee from the confirmed tests and great
trials which break backs and perish souls and to make thee a sign of
submissiveness and a standard of meekness, lowliness and humility before
the Kingdom of the Mighty and Omnipotent God.
“O thou who art advancing unto the Kingdom of God!...”
O thou who art advancing unto the Kingdom of God!
Verily I noted thy writing and was made glad by thy letter. I pray God to
cause thee to attain the bounties of the Kingdom, so that thou mayest
arise for the service of the Cause of God and that of the world of
humanity—and (may God’s) blessing descend upon thy honorable wife. Verily
my Lord is kind unto His servants and is the Generous, the Giver of
Bounty!
Know that the return of Christ for a second time doth not mean what the
people believe, but, rather, signifieth the One promised to come after
Him. He shall come with the Kingdom of God and His power which hath
surrounded the world. This power (or reign) is in the world of hearts and
spirits and not in that of matter (or bodies). For the material world is
not comparable to a single wing of a fly, or rather less in the sight of
thy Lord, wert thou of those who know! Verily Christ came with His Kingdom
from the beginning which hath no beginning and will come with His Kingdom
to the eternity of eternities, inasmuch as in this sense Christ is an
expression of the divine reality, the simple essence and heavenly entity
which hath no beginning or ending. It hath appearance, arising and
manifestation and setting in each of the cycles.
“O thou who art marching unto God!...”
O thou who art marching unto God!
Thy letter was read. Its contents indicated thy devotion to the Horizon of
the Living God and thy love for the Promised Perfection. Firmness is,
however, a requisite. Thou must remain solid and firm as a great mountain.
Regarding thy revered wife, thou hast written that a warmer place is more
suitable than the cold. If this winter thou shouldst go to those regions,
it is better. I ask God that thou, thy wife and thy friends may draw nigh
unto the Spiritual Beauty.
“Rejoice, O maid-servant of God!...”
Rejoice, O maid-servant of God!
