throbbing through the breezes that are blowing from the verdant gardens of
the love of God. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon thee to be purely
sincere, to turn to the holy Kingdom and to generously give the spirit in
the cause of the Lord of Might. Verily, this is no other than an eternal
and everlasting life which hath no end in the world of existence.

O thou fragrant rose blooming in the Garden of Guidance!

Thank thou God for that He hath removed from off thine eyes the covering,
made thee to see the signs of the Kingdom of thy Lord, the supreme, filled
for thee the cup of bounty and gave thee to drink the pure wine of
fidelity which He hath promised to the sincere in the holy Books and
Tablets.

O thou my dear! The cup of knowledge is overflowing; blessed are they who
partake in draughts! The fountain of life is issuing forth; blessed are
they who drink! The doors of the Kingdom are opened; O what good news to
those who advance! The garden of paradise is drawn near; O what a pleasure
to those who enter! The dove of holiness is cooing; O what a happiness to
those who hear! The gates of heaven are open; blessed are they who see!
The hosts of angels are standing in battle order; what a joy to those who
gain the victory! The trumpet of life is sounding; how good it is to those
who are awake!

As to thee: Realize the bounty of thy Lord as it is, and thank thou thy
Lord and praise Him for that He hath directed thee to the right path.

Robert and Herbert, to surround them with the glances of His merciful eye,
to direct them to the path of guidance and to make them enter the Ark of
Safety which is cleaving the sea of this contingent world in the midst of
the deluge of tests; that they may become righteous, guiding the people to
the Kingdom of the glorious Lord, the doors of which are open before the
faces of all beings.

I implore Him to appoint thee one of the angels of the Spirit, that thou
mayest blow the spirit of life into the hearts which are good and pure
through the love of God; that He may strengthen
