een us, which is the means of assuring
the heart and rejoicing the spirit.
"O thou seeker of the Heavenly Kingdom!..."
O thou seeker of the Heavenly Kingdom!
This world resembles the human body and the Kingdom of God is like the
spirit of life. Think how narrow and dark the material world of man is,
how afflicted with disease and maladies; but how bright and spacious is
His Spiritual World! Through this illustration thou mayest comprehend in
what manner is the Spiritual World portrayed in this earthly world and in
what degree is its power effected. Though the Spirit is concealed, its
power is manifested and clear in the phenomenal world; and so with the
Kingdom of God, though it is veiled from the eyes of the ignorant people,
to men of perception it is discernable and evident. Therefore, thou must
become entirely heavenly that thou mayest forget the earthly conditions
and be immersed in the perception of Divinity to such a degree that thou
wilt be unconscious of the surrounding material existence.
"O my dear friend!..."
O my dear friend!
Verily, my heart is united with thee even though my body is in a distant
land, for verily neither long distance nor immense remoteness can prevent
the union between hearts, because the clear hearts are in reality
assembled in union in the Kingdom of God, while bodies are disperse in the
east and west of the earth. This dispersion cannot stop the affinity and
cannot veil the eye of soul from seeing in all directions.
"O thou who art cheerfully moving by the Fragrances..."
O thou who art cheerfully moving by the Fragrances of God!
Know thou verily, that when the Sun of Truth shown forth to the horizons,
the eyes of the people of affection were brightened by witnessing thereof,
but the blind are in veil and discord, and say: "Where is the Sun of the
Horizon?" Leave them in the veils of passions and fathoms of the seas of
ignorance, to sink and play.
Verily, thou shouldst be rejoiced with this Light, which is shining to the
Easts of the earth and the Wests thereof, and be illumined thereby, so
that thou becomest saved with thy whole being from the gloomy darkness.
Then thou wilt become of the great signs of guidance.
"O thou seeker of Truth!..."
O thou seeker of Truth!
I received the photograph of thy shining figure and I looked at it with
thorough attention. A tranquility and steadfastness was manifest in thy
visage. I beg of God
