ho art attracted by the Word of God!
Verily, I read thy letter which contained new significances. I ask God to
make thee a new creature so that the lights of human perfections may shine
through thee and to make thee kind hearted unto all human beings so that
thou mayest be a mercy unto souls, absolute goodness to all, a sign of
kindness, a word of tenderness. Verily, thy Lord is the Mighty, the
Powerful! He reviveth whomsoever He wisheth by the spirit of righteousness
and granteth unto whom He wisheth great bounty, guideth whom He wisheth
unto the path of life and confirmeth whom He desireth in attaining the
Kingdom of God.

the confession of Thy Oneness, attracted me unto the word of Thy
Singleness, enkindled me by the fire of Thy love, and occupied me with Thy
mention and the service of Thy friends and maid-servants.
O Lord, help me to be meek and lowly and strengthen me in severing myself
