God for His great
kindness and providence after those Tablets reached thee, for the bounty
of their significances which hath shone forth upon thee. Verily, they are
Tablets the words of which have proceeded from a heart which is filled
with the love of God, is free and isolated from all else save God, is
illumined and over-flowing with the bounties of the Kingdom of El-Abha and
in which the verses of unity are traced through the breath of the spirit
of the gift of God.
O maid-servant of God! It is incumbent upon thee to learn that which the
spirit of Abdul-Baha poureth upon thee. Look not at thy capacity and
ability; nay, look at the grace of thy Lord in these days and at the gift
of His Kingdom, the like of which hath never been seen by the eye of
existence in former cycles.
Verily existence is a parched ground and the bounty of the Kingdom is a
copious rain. The ground of existence shall surely be developed into

Truly, I say unto thee, this blessed Name is the spirit of life, the
deliverer from death, the word of salvation and of manifest signs! Thou
shalt surely hear from all parts the cry, "Ya Baha El-Abha!" reaching to
the Supreme Concourse.
Deliver my spiritual greeting to thy spiritual son and to his revered wife
whose name is near to thy name. Deliver my greeting to thy spiritual
daughter, the revered ......... and tell her: "O my dear daughter! Turn
unto the Kingdom of thy Lord and be benefited by spiritual bounties. Be
attracted by the fragrances of holiness--such an attraction which may
breather life into dead souls, quicken them by a pure life and may
illumine their sights with the light which is shining forth to all the
world in this glorious century and new age."
Deliver my praise to the maid-servant of God, ......... and say unto her:
"Verily, thou hast seen the physical picture of Abdul-Baha printed by the
rays of the phenomenal sun (i.e., his photograph) and thine eyes became
overflowing with tears. Beg thou of God that He may show unto thee his
(Abdul-Baha's) spiritual picture printed by the ray sh
