eed in this field as much as thou canst and
that thou mayest know nothing except praising, worshiping and extolling
the Sun of the World of Creation.

O maid-servant of God! The radiance of favor is (cast) upon thy head and
thou art clad with the robe of gift. Praise be unto God, that the breeze

lakes of graces are successively overflowing. The wine of the love of God

favor of the Blessed Perfection thou wilt become the lamp of the society
of Green Acre (Me.), and wilt become the cup-bearer of the wine of the
love of God, thou wilt invite a great number of people into the Kingdom of

regions and wilt be the rival of all the celebrated people of the world.

rather, the decayed bones will be quickened and the rocks and stones be
affected.

Remember my spiritual favors which have uninterruptedly descended upon
thee at the table which was spread under the abundant gifts of the Kingdom
of God. Verily, I continue supplicating God to make to grow from the
luxuriant garden of the heart the aromatic plants of His knowledge,
