n from the
Supreme Concourse, send you the fragrances of the Supreme Paradise,
perfume your nostrils by the breath of purity wafted from the garden of
the Supreme Concourse, cause you to enter the Ark of Safety, and reveal to
you the Manifest Signs.
Verily this is a great bounty! Verily this is a manifest attainment!
"O thou who art guided by the Light of Guidance!..."
O thou who art guided by the Light of Guidance!
Verily, I am informed of thy confession of the Oneness of God and thy
being attracted to the fragrances of God. I implore unto God to make thee
a sign of guidance; thy face rejoicing among the maid-servants of the
Merciful, and thy heart severed from this world, which weakeneth the
hearts and spirits.
"O thou whose breast is dilated by the Fragrances of..."
O thou whose breast is dilated by the Fragrances of God!
Verily thy letter reached me and I prayed God to confirm thee in guiding
the people to the Manifestation of Lights; satisfying the thirsty ones
with the pure and peaceful water; leading the sick to the Glorious
Physician; guiding those who are led astray into the Path, imparting the
wine to those who are seeking, and feeding the hungry souls with the food
which descendeth from the heaven of thy Lord, the Glorious!
"O thou who seekest for the Will of God!..."
O thou who seekest for the Will of God!
Give thanks to God that thou entered the divine Kingdom and knowest the
heavenly Lord of Hosts!
The light of truth hath radiated from the Sun of Divinity to the horizons
in such a manner that the East and the West are illumined. But, alas! the
blind do not see and the deaf do not hear the divine proclamation. The
bats do not perceive the light of the sun and the beetles cannot enjoy the
fragrances of a rose-garden.
Consider that the horizons of the world were enlightened through the light
of the beauty of His Holiness Christ; yet all the people were asleep,
blind and sightless, except a few whose eyes were opened and perceived the
lights. Now thou shalt thank God that a beam of the light came to thy
sight. I ask God that thine inner sight may be illumined so that thou
mayest discover the hidden mysteries of the Kingdom of God. If thou become
so, thou wilt be an evident light and a divine angel in the celestial
dominion; then it dependeth on the divine confirmation, according to thy
perseverance.
"O thou seeker of the True One!..."
O thou seeker
