O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!

Give thanks unto God for having revealed unto thee, in visions, the
mysteries of His Kingdom and for having strengthened thee to attain
certain revelations which show thine utmost attraction and constancy unto
this great Cause.

Verily, the three birds are the three holy souls. The one on the right is
His Holiness the great Bab, the one on the left is His Honor the
Khudoos,(308) the glorious soul, and the great bird in the middle is the
Greatest Name.(309) The light shining from the Supreme Horizon is the
Beauty of El-Abha. These birds descended from an infinite height and the

edifices and soon thou wilt see it erected there with a most solid
foundation and strongest basis. That divine face will beam upon numberless
souls who will enter this Temple.
