"O thou who art advancing toward God!..."

O thou who art advancing toward God!

Verily, I received thy letter, which showed that thou hast turned unto the
Kingdom of God and advanced toward the Beauty of El-ABHA.

Verily, thy Lord hath chosen thee for His love, elected thee for His
knowledge and selected thee for entering the Paradise of El-ABHA, so that
thou mayest attain to the mightiest bliss and greatest honor: It is no
other than the Light which is shining upon hearts and sights and the
Spirit which is thrilling and flowing within veins and nerves!

Verily, thou hast attained thereto, for thou hast acknowledged the Oneness
of God and His Singleness, and turned unto His Face, the lights of which
are shining from the horizon of the unseen, upon all regions!

"O thou who art attracted to the Call of the Kingdom!..."

O thou who art attracted to the Call of the Kingdom!

Thy letter was presented and I was informed of thy expression. And it was

of thine excessive love for thy great Master.

Know thou, verily, the Kingdom is a magnet of the divine world, and it
attracteth the iron of pure hearts which are capable of the bounties of
the Lord of Might. Blessed art thou, for thou hast turned unto the Lord of
Heaven, thy heart hath relied upon the light of guidance, thou hast
advanced toward the center of righteousness, and thy spirit is cheered by
the bounty of the Supreme Concourse.

Verily, I beseech God to strengthen thee with the Most Great Power, so
that the Spirit may pour upon thee the teachings of the Beauty of El-ABHA,
and to baptize thee with the water of life, the fire of the love of God
and with the spirit of confirmation among the maid-servants.

O maid-servant of God! It is incumbent upon thee to supplicate to thy
Lord, to seek His nearness with thy heart, to be submissive and humble
before His maid-servants and to serve His great vineyard.

Forsake the mortal grades (i.e., things of the world) and be engaged in
praising thy Lord; so that His Holy Spirit may assist thee; may make thee
a sign of faith and illumine thy heart with the light of assurance, and
that thou mayest become a sign of peace, a servant
