eme Paradise under the shadow of
the Tree of Life and hast partaken of the Heavenly Table. This Servant
hath also the utmost longing to see thee and hopeth that some day this
wish may be attained. But in these days, owing to the sedition of these
faithless ones (i.e., violators), coming to this blessed region is
(subject to) great caution. Therefore, leave it to some other time and be
engaged in diffusing the lights of the Sun of Truth.

Turn thou unto the Kingdom of Oneness and chant thou the verses of
Singleness. Be thou invested with a robe, the embroidery of which is
purity and sanctity and the woof and warp of which is the spirituality of
the Mighty Lord, so that thou mayest inhale the fragrance of the divine
rose-garden from the garment of the real Joseph and so divest thyself of

Chicago and New York) must be also in unity and harmony with that meeting.

To be brief, it hath been decided by the Desire of God that union and
harmony may day by day increase among the friends of God and maid-servants
of the Merciful One, in the West. Not until this is realized will the
affairs advance by any means whatever! And the greatest means for the
union and harmony of all is Spiritual Meetings. This matter is very
important and is as a magnet (to attract or) for divine confirmation. If
the beauty of this Divine Beloved One--that is, unity of believers--does
appear in the ornament of the Kingdom of ABHA, it is certain that those
countries will, in a short
