itten was perused and its contents were
noted. Thou hast written concerning spiritual hearing and insight. The
insight (or inner perception) is a correct sight, for it never blundereth.
But the outward sight doth err (or misjudgeth); it seeth the mirage as
water, considereth the revolving flame as a circle, imagineth the images
reflected in a mirror as a reality and judgeth huge bodies as small ones,
from a remote distance. There are many evidences as to the blundering of
the sight; but the insight apprehendeth the reality and discovereth the
mysteries.

As to the difference between inspiration and imagination: Inspiration is
in conformity with the Divine Texts, but imaginations do not conform
therewith. A real, spiritual connection between the True One and the
servant is a luminous bounty which causeth an ecstatic (or divine) flame,
passion and attraction. When this connection is secured (or realized) such
an ecstasy and happiness become manifest in the heart that man doth fly
away (with joy) and uttereth melody and song. Just as the soul bringeth
the body in motion, so that spiritual bounty and real connection likewise
moveth (or cheereth) the human soul. As to truthful dreams: I beg of God
that thy inner eye (insight) may be so opened that thou mayest thyself
differentiate between truthful and untruthful dreams.

Treat thy friends and relatives in general with the utmost kindness and
love; (deal in like manner) even with strangers (or outsiders). Convey my
great compassion to the little maid-servant of God, ......... She must
memorize and recite the following commune:

"O loving God! I am a young child, a suppliant, a..."

"O loving God! I am a young child, a suppliant, a captive. Be Thou my
refuge, my support, my protector. I am in distress: give me the means of
tranquillity. I am needy: bestow upon me the treasure of the Kingdom. I am
dead: give me the Spirit of Life. I am weak: favor me with power and
strength, so that I may be a maid-servant in Thy Threshold, with perfect
purity and sanctity; sacrifice myself unto Thee, be quit of myself and
seek Thee, walk in the path of Thy good pleasure, speak Thy secret and
witness the signs of Thy Oneness wherever I look. O God! Make me ablaze,
like unto the fire of Thy love, and make me free from attachment to this
mortal world, until I find the peace of soul and the rest of conscience.

"Thou art the Powerful, the Mighty! Thou art the Hearer, the Seer!"
