to the Kingdom of God!..."

O thou who art supplicating unto the Kingdom of God!

Rest assured in the mercy of thy Lord; be rejoiced for my remembering
thee; gladden thyself by the appearance of the Kingdom of God, be
attracted by the fragrance of God and call out: "Ya Baha El-ABHA!"--from
the depths of thy heart with all meekness and supplication, attracted by
the fire of the love of God. (Then annoint or rub all the parts of the
body.)

Verily, I say unto thee, if thou attainest the condition we demonstrate to
thee (i.e., if thou followest the directions given) be confident in the
speedy recovery through the favor of God.

"O thou who art advancing unto the Kingdom of God!..."

O thou who art advancing unto the Kingdom of God!

I ask God to make thee a helper to the maid-servants of the Merciful, to
walk in the path of salvation, to disperse the clouds of doubt from the
horizon of the hearts, to make the sun of knowledge manifest unto souls
and spirits and to confirm thee in a matter which will make thee to raise
the banner of the Covenant in the world.

"O dear servant of God!..."

O dear servant of God!

Observe how dear thou wert that He guided thee to the Kingdom of Light,
and how near to His Threshold, that He granted thee admission into His
Court. Thou were poor in spirit; He led thee to the Heavenly Treasure.
Thou wert in quest of illumination; He enlightened thee through the rays
of the Sun of Truth. Thou wert athirst; He led thee to the Spring of Life.
Thou wert sick; He bestowed upon thee the Heavenly Remedy.

I have read thy letter and have considered its contents. Know this: That
today whoever turns to the Kingdom of the Glorious God, holds communion
with the Almighty One, the Omniscient, and lives wholly the true and good
life, the doors of progress and help will be opened unto him everywhere;
such an one will be aided, victorious and protected.

Therefore, turn to the Supreme Kingdom, forget thyself entirely and remain
firm in the spiritual trials, so that thou mayest see the favors of the
Kingdom and realize the heavenly confirmation.

"O thou who art uttering the praise of God!..."

O thou who art uttering the praise of God!

Verily I read thy letter, which expressed thy surprise at some of the
commandments of the law of God, such as that concerning the hunting of
innocent animals. Be not surprised at this. Ponder over the contingent
realities, their mysteries,
