with the food of Thy meeting and cause us to attain to the
sweetness of beholding Thy beauty, forasmuch as this is the utmost wish,
the mightiest gift and the greatest bestowal. O Lord, O Lord! Make this
feasible unto us. Verily Thou art the Beneficent, the Giver! Verily Thou
art the Bestower, the Mighty, the Merciful.

"O thou seeker of the True One!..."

O thou seeker of the True One!

If thou wishest the divine knowledge and recognition, purify thy heart
from all beside God, be wholly attracted to the ideal, beloved One; search
for and choose Him and apply thyself to rational and authoritative
arguments. For arguments are a guide to the path and by this the heart
will be turned unto the Sun of Truth. And when the heart is turned unto
the Sun, then the eye will be opened and will recognize the Sun through
the Sun itself. Then (man) will be in no need of arguments (or proofs),
for the Sun is altogether independent, and absolute independence is in
need of nothing, and proofs are one of the things (of which absolute
independence has no need). Be not like Thomas; be thou like Peter. I hope
you will be healed physically, mentally and spiritually.

"O maid-servant of God!..."

O maid-servant of God!

Thank God, thy faith increased and thou didst become attached to the
Kingdom of the Merciful. Endeavor and supplicate and pray God that, day
unto day, thy firmness and steadfastness may grow and that thy countenance
may radiate through the light of guidance. Thus shalt thou stand solid as
an iron mountain. For firmness attracts the bounty of God and
steadfastness is a magnet to receive His strength. Pray thou God for this
(attainment), and I will pray to Him to awaken the two people that they
may avoid alcoholic drinks.

Hypnotism hath a weak influence over bodies, but hath no result. But the
power of the Kingdom of God is great. If thou canst, endeavor to obtain a
share of that power.

I ask God to help [thy son] in attaining faith and assurance and in
directing himself to the desired One. Although young, he shall attain
maturity. May the love of God take root in his heart from his youthful
age.

"O thou who art a young tree in the Garden of the Love..."

O thou who art a young tree in the Garden of the Love of God!

I supplicate to God that He may develop and flourish thee with the shower
of mercy, the heat and light of the Sun of Truth and the soul-imparting
breeze of the Paradise of ABH
