of the Kingdom.

Know in the reality of assurance that every true woman who is attracted by
the fragrances of holiness in this most glorious age will surpass even the
most developed men of previous centuries.

It is incumbent upon thee to make thy greatest effort; to put forth thy
full strength; to supplicate and to worship, and to be careful to put thy
full trust in the Kingdom of the Lord Most High.

Make ready thy soul that thou mayest be like the light which shineth forth
from the loftiest heights on the coast, by means of which guidance may be
given to the timid ships amid the darkness of fog and the heaving of the
sea.

Then gain the knowledge of godliness and learn the exact facts from the
revered Abul Fazl(124), and, if it be possible, remain there a few months.

understand the teachings regarding the Truth is absolutely required. And
upon God let thy confidence rest.

loudest voice in the assemblies of the beloved ones and invite them to the
Alliance of God; and make them steadfast in the Covenant of God, and bear
good-tidings to all the steadfast ones, and inspire all who waver to be
firm in the religion of God and to resist all force with is against the
Alliance of God. Verily I promise the confirmation of the Holy Spirit to
thee in those great assemblies whenever ye argue upon the Covenant of

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

I hope thou wilt ride thy st
