that thou mayest find
the result of the supernal life from the temporal life and attain to the
gift of the heavenly food and be strengthened to serve the Cause of God.
"O thou who art esteemed in the Threshold of the..."
O thou who art esteemed in the Threshold of the Almighty!
Praise thou God, for that thou hast found the Light of Guidance,
recognized the Lord of the Kingdom, art engaged in the service of the
Divine Garden and hast guided a number of souls and led them to the
Kingdom of Existence. When thou occupiest thyself with all thy strength in

surface, is identical with witnessing the essence of the sun itself.
When the souls of the sincere depart (from this body), then their unreal
vision (i.e., seeing) is changed into a vision of reality. Even as man,
when in the age of babyhood and imperfection, though he seeth things, yet
that vision is superficial and external. But when he reacheth the world
(or age) of perfection and becometh endowed with reasoning facult
