ed with joy, their souls delighted
with pleasure, their hearts illumined and their cups overflowed with
abundance. Their edifice hath risen high, their palaces have been adorned,
their suns shone, their stars gleamed and their diadems radiated with a
dazzling light. Their dominions have expanded and their lights have spread
to all ages and generations. These are their set-up thrones, their high
palaces, their luminous lamps and their shining moons throughout all
horizons. These are their traces in the world; how much more then would be
their lights in the highest of the high--consider, therefore, O ye
maid-servants of the Merciful!

This being the case, care no more for the world and its desires, but cling
to the spiritual world and its gifts, spread the fragrances of God, be
submissive to the Word of God, establish a spiritual meeting-place
wherefrom theincense of sanctity and purity will rise up to God, assemble
there with fragrance and spirituality and celebrate the Name of your Lord
by day and by night. At that time ye would become illumined lamps,
spiritual stars; rather, eternal suns. This is a favor that was longed for
by the spirits of the godly people and the hearts of the queens in the
former ages.

"O ye maid-servants of God and leaves of the Tree of..."

O ye maid-servants(297) of God and leaves of the Tree of Eternal Life!

Blessed are ye for attaining to that which was the greatest hope of Mary
the Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jacob! This gift was shining on the
face of the Virgin Mary like unto a brilliant gem glistening on the great
crown of glory.

Happy are ye for this favor, the likeness of which was not seen by the eye
of existence, not its similitude heard by the ears of the creatures;
because it is the greatest favor on the part of the Lord of the Kingdoms
in the world of existence; that is, the greatest guidance, the attainment
unto the day of the Lord and listening unto the call of God. How blessed
is this great favor!

O ye maid-servants of God! All the palaces shall be destroyed and become
like graves, buried beneath the ground, but god, through His mighty hand,
will build for ye solid palaces in His Kingdom which will not be destroyed
forever and evermore; nay, rather its foundation will be strengthened in
the course of ages and centuries.

Therefore, call in His Name, spread the fragrances of God, guide unto the
path of God and cause souls to enter the Kingdom of God!
