and continuous; the rays of the Sun of Truth are shining and
sparkling; the stars of guidance are gleaming and scintillating and the
rains of generosity are falling and flowing! Blessing is upon the one who
taketh a share from this glorious outpouring and receiveth illumination
from this light which is shining forth from the firmament of ether.

O thou maid-servant of God! Blessed art thou, for the Temple of the
Covenant (Abdul-Baha) hath become manifest to thee in a dream with
incomparable humility and submission toward God, and that thou hast beheld
that countenance overflowing with yearning, attraction and love toward the

this observation, whereby the spirit of life will become manifest in thee,

shalt behold that which none have seen! At that time thou shalt fall upon
the ground before God the True One, for He hath favored thee with this
most great bounty.

life in the souls and suffer the people to soar up the the zenith of the
Kingdom.

Undoubtedly, write thou letters and do not stop correspondence even in
appearance.
