mysteries may become revealed to thee at all time.
Become thou engaged in teaching the truth, for the teaching of the Cause
containeth the power of a magnet; it attracteth the mysteries of God.
Regarding my freedom: To me prison is freedom; to me incarceration is an
open court; to me humility is identical with glory; to me adversity is a
gift and death is life. I hope that thou wilt also take a portion from
this sea and seek a reflection from these lights, becoming and ignited
lamp so that the winds of contradiction will not blow it out, and day by
day more revelation and vision may descend, and thou be enkindled more
than before with the fire of the love of God.
Convey respectful greeting to the maid-servants of the Merciful One. I
supplicate God that they may add to their faith and assurance every
moment.
"O thou sign of the Kingdom and the bird singing with..."
O thou sign of the Kingdom and the bird singing with the most wonderful
melodies in the rose-garden of Paradise!
Verily, I have considered the meanings of thy brilliant letter which was
of most eloquent expression and found it overflowing with praise,
thanksgiving, sanctification, supplication and invocation toward the
Supreme Kingdom. By my life, it was like unto a rose-garden adorned with
the myrtles of realities and truths, wherefrom the pure fragrances
emanated and perfumed the nostrils and dilated the hearts and souls.
O thou maid-servant of God! Display thou an effort, gird up the loins of
endeavor, dilate thy breast and be thou prepared for the manifestation of
the breaths of the Holy Spirit in thine heart. By God, the true One,
verily, the Holy Spirit confirmeth every maid-servant who ariseth to
spread the fragrances of God, so that the inhabitants of the whole world
cannot overcome her spiritual strength--for similar things have happened in
the past centuries.
O thou maid-servant of God! Celebrate the praises of God; become thou
engaged with His mentioning like unto the tempestuous and roaring torrent
rushing down from the mountains and hills; rend asunder the veils and
coverings, so that the shining lights may become manifest to the eyes,
refreshing the hearts of the righteous ones with the gentle breezes of the
flowers of truth and the sweet fragrance of the dawn of eternity.
O thou maid-servant of God! Verily, the bounties of thy Lord are great and
great in this glorious century and new age; the confirmations are
consecutive
