"O thou maid-servant of God!..."
O thou maid-servant of God!
In these times thanksgiving for the bounty of the Merciful One consists in
the illumination of the heart and the feeling of the soul. This is the
reality of thanksgiving. But, although offering thanks through speech or
writings is approvable, yet, in comparison with that, it is but unreal,
for the foundation is spiritual feelings and merciful sentiments. I hope
that you may be favored therewith. But the lack of capacity and merit in
the Day of Judgment does not prevent one from bounty and generosity, for
it is the day of grace and not justice, and to give every one his due is
justice. Consequently, do not look upon thy capacity, nay, rather, look
upon the infinite grace of the Bounty of Abha who grace is comprehending
and whose bounty is perfect.
I beg of God through the confirmation and assistance of the True One thou
mayest show the utmost eloquence, fluency, ability and skill in teaching
the real significances of the Bible. Turn toward the Kingdom of Abha and
seek the bounty of the Holy Spirit. Loosen the tongue and the confirmation
of the Spirit shall reach thee.
As to that great Sun which thou sawest in a dream: That is His Holiness
the Promised One and the lights thereof are His bounties. The surface of
the water is transparent body--that is, pure hearts. Its waves are the
moving of the hearts, the cheering of the souls--that is, spiritual
feelings and merciful sentiments. Thank tho God for that thou hast had
such a revelation in the world of dreams.
As to the fact that man must entirely forget himself, by this is meant
that he should arise in the mystery of sacrifice and that is the
disappearance of mortal sentiments and extinction of blamable morals which
constitute the temporal gloom, and not that the physical health should be
changed into weakness and debility.
I humbly supplicate to the Threshold of Oneness that heavenly blessings
and merciful forgiveness may overtake thy dear mother, sisters and loving
relations, especially thy betrothed who suddenly departed from this world
to the next one.
"O thou seeker of the Kingdom!..."
O thou seeker of the Kingdom!
Thou hast forwarded thy photograph and it was considered. In thy face a
brilliant light is apparent and that sparkling light is the love of God.
