hich showeth how thou art turning unto
God, moved by the breath of God, drawn by the Spirit of God and how the
mystery of existence, the image of the Lord of Hosts, was revealed unto
thee. This indicates that God shall open before thee the doors of
revelation and the Spirit of Truth shall confirm thee with evident signs.
Seeing this servant in thy prayers is a proof of the ideal nearness, of
the spiritual unity and of the impression that was printed within thine
own consciousness. At all times I do supplicate to the divine Kingdom to
make thy heart a pure, clear and polished mirror, facing the most glorious
Kingdom, El-Abha, that the pictures of the Supreme Concourse may be
printed in it, and this is exactly what was meant in the Bible by this
text: "Let us create man after our own image and likeness."
To see repeatedly is an evidence that the vision will take place both in
the spirit and body; but separation and union, parting and meeting are
things which belong to the material body. The spirit is sanctified from
association, departure, nearness, remoteness, connection and separation,
for these are of the properties of material bodies and of the
characteristics of the elementary facts; but the Spirit is everlastingly
in the station of its loftiness and supremacy in a similar way to the sun
which is continually stationed in its sphere orbit; its appearance and
disappearance signify the clearness of the place and the fineness of the
body which is facing it, and as long as the confronting surface continues
to be in a well-polished condition, the lights of the sun will then appear
in it; but when it becometh rough and impure, the lights disappear.
Consequently, it hath been proven that nearness and remoteness signify
smoothness, clearness and fineness; or rust, impurity and roughness,
respectively.
And if God wisheth, through the clearness of the heart, we will be
continually in the assembly of alliance and friendship, resting
permanently in the spiritual and heavenly realm, adoring and worshipping
God, meeting and uniting by the holy fragrances, drawn by the magnet of
the love of God and thanking Him for this great bounty and evident
victory.
As to our meeting materially (i.e., face to face), I ask God that He may
ordain this for us in the way He deemeth best.
Then know, O thou virtuous soul, that as soon as thou becometh separated
from aught else save God and dost cut thyself from the worldly things, thy
