Although thou art absent in body, yet, praise G.o.d! thou art present in spirit and art illuminated by the lights of the Divine Love. Thou must develop day by day and become more rejoiced than before through the fragrances of the Holy Spirit and illumine the hearts of others by the light of the love of G.o.d. I ask G.o.d to confirm thee in the service of the Threshold of G.o.d and to strengthen thee in His servitude, like unto Abdul-Baha. Thus thou mayest be thrilled with the ecstasy of the wine of the Covenant and give a drink thereof unto the world.
"O maid-servant of G.o.d!..."
O maid-servant of G.o.d!
Thy letter was read. The doors of the Kingdom are open and the bounty of G.o.d is like unto spring rain. Although the signs of material bounty are great, yet the true bounty is that of heaven, spiritual, which gives life eternal. Follow this and thy heart will become as beautiful as a garden, thine eyes bright, thy spirit happy and thy thought a comfort to souls.
Be a well-wisher of humanity and a servant of mankind. Thus the strength of the Kingdom will uphold thee and the avenues of revelation open to thee. Because today every servant is served and is an honorable lord and every maid-servant the queen of horizons. Grow in humility and meekness daily, until thou attainest eternal glory and everlasting grace.
"O thou who hast turned thy face toward the Kingdom of G.o.d!..."
O thou who hast turned thy face toward the Kingdom of G.o.d!
Thy letter was received. In reality thou art spiritually hungry and athirst for the Water of Life. Therefore I send to thee spiritual food and bestow upon thee the Water of Life Eternal. That food is the divine advices and exhortations revealed in the Tablets and the spiritual outpourings of the breath of the Holy Spirit. I hope ere long it will reach thee and thou wilt behold what an exhilaration and beat.i.tude it produceth and what cheerfulness and serenity and what heavenly emotions it createth.
Educate and train thou that dear child with the utmost perseverance.
"O thou yearning one!..."
O thou yearning one!
Be thou a physician to every sick one and teach thou every ignorant one; that is, show thou to others the way of the Kingdom and guide them to life eternal.
Praise be to G.o.d! I became known and revealed myself to thee in the world of vision and instructed thee in the search of Truth. Seek thou the light of G.o.d, relate thou the mysteries of the True One and walk thou in the path of the Kingdom, so that thou mayest behold wonderful signs and observe universal confirmations.
"O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of G.o.d!..."
O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of G.o.d!
Verily I am in receipt of thy last letter which indicateth thy exceeding love for Abdul-Baha, thy confidence in G.o.d, and thy good and sincere intention in the service of the Cause of G.o.d.
Excellent is the statement given by thee in that precious letter-that ye are in need of love and affinity in that country to unite the hearts and spirits.
This is the truth and there is naught beyond the truth save error. Know thou a.s.suredly that-
Love is the mystery of divine revelations!
Love is the effulgent manifestation!
Love is the spiritual fulfillment!
Love is the breath of the Holy Spirit inspired into the human spirit!
Love is the cause of the manifestation of the Truth (G.o.d) in the phenomenal world!
Love is the necessary tie proceeding from the realities of things through divine creation!
Love is the means of the most great happiness in both the material and spiritual worlds!
Love is a light of guidance in the dark night!
Love is the bond between the Creator and the creature in the inner world!
Love is the cause of development to every enlightened man!
Love is the greatest law in this vast universe of G.o.d!
Love is the one law which causeth and controleth order among the existing atoms!
Love is the universal magnetic power between the planets and stars s.h.i.+ning in the loft firmament!
Love is the cause of unfoldment to a searching mind, of the secrets deposited in the universe by the Infinite!
Love is the spirit of life in the bountiful body of the world!
Love is the cause of the civilization of nations in this mortal world!
Love is the highest honor to every righteous nation!
The people who are confirmed therein are indeed glorified by the Supreme Concourse, the angels of heaven and the dwellers of the Kingdom of El-Abha! But if the hearts of the people become devoid of the Divine Grace-the Love of G.o.d-they wander in the desert of ignorance, descend to the depths of ruin and fall to the abyss of despair where there is no refuge! They are like insects living in the lowest plane.
O beloved of G.o.d! Be ye the manifestations of G.o.d and the lamps of guidance throughout all regions s.h.i.+ning with the light of love and union!
How beautiful the effulgence of this light!
O my friend! Let this letter be spread among the beloved in America, that they may agree, unite and love one another; nay, rather that they should love all the people, and (be willing to) sacrifice even their lives for one another.
This is the Path of El-Baha!
This is the Religion of El-Baha!
This is the Law of El-Baha!
