O ye(77) illumined faces! O ye divine souls! and O ye spiritual temples!
Verily, I read your letter which uttered your extreme love and entire
attraction to the Kingdom of God, your trust in God, your immersing into
the deep seas of the bounties of God and your chanting the verses of
thanksgiving to God, because He guided you to His Eternal Kingdom,
manifested to you His evident light, descended upon you a heavenly table
through His great favor, planted you in His glorious vineyard and caused
you to become manifestations of guidance among the people and
dawning-points of wisdom among the creatures.
Servants of God! Sanctify the soul and dilate the breast by the promise
your Lord gave you, that, verily, He confirms you through the hosts of
inspiration. Ye will see (the time when) your faces shine as stars in the
horizon of guidance and your heads crowned by the crown of success in the
Supreme World.
O Thou kind Lord!
These souls are Thy friends and this gathering is longing for Thee. They
are captives of the lights of Thy Beauty and ecstatic by Thy musk-scented
locks. Their hearts are Thine; they are Thy poor, humble and homeless;
they have severed themselves from relative and stranger and have
established the relationship of unity with Thee. They have adored Thee.
They were sons of earth; Thou hast made them new fruits of the Kingdom.
They were plants of the desert of bereavement; Thou hast made them trees
of the rose-garden of knowledge. They were silent; Thou hast made them
speak. They were extinct; Thou hast lighted them. They were sterile soil;
Thou hast made them the rose-garden of significances. They were the
children of the world of humanity; Thou hast caused them to attain
development and the maturity of the Kingdom!
O kind One! Grant them shelter and security under Thy protection, preserve
them from tests and trials, send them invisible help and confer upon them
the doubtless bounty, O Thou kind Beloved!
They are the body and Thou art the Life. The body is dependent for its
life and freshness upon the Spirit--therefore they are in need of
confirmation and long for the Breaths of the Holy Spirit in this new
Cause!
Thou art the Able! Thou art the Giver, the Educator, the Forgiver, the
Pardoner and the Light shining from the Invisible Realm!
"O ye who are attracted to the Heavenly Kingdom! O..."
