"O thou esteemed maid-servant of God!..."

O thou esteemed maid-servant of God!

Be thou hopeful and be thou happy and rejoiced. For I have supplicated and
beseeched before the Threshold of the Almighty that thy wish may be
realized, so thou mayest overcome the self and perform charitable deeds
and that the human perfections may appear from thee; that thou mayest be
endowed with lofty gifts; find thy way to divine wisdom and show forth the
manners and conduct of those who are favored in the Threshold of the
Almighty.

sacrifice life, body and heart for the Beloved One of the world.

Thy letter was received and the sign of the hand was observed. This sign

the Kingdom, in order that thou mayest be freed from the strangers and
friends, be disengaged from attachment to the material world and be
attached wholly to the divine Kingdom. At that time thou wilt behold the
lights of the most great gift.

O thou maid-servant of God!

Thy poetry was received. The context was elegant. The words were eloquent

eloquent contents, in order that it may become conducive to the perpetuity
of thy name in the spiritual meetings. Upon thee be greeting and praise!

What thou hast written was perused. Be thou rejoiced on account of hearing
the glad-tidings of the Kingdom. To render thanks for such a bounty is to
show forth praiseworthy deeds.

Sacrifice thyself for the well-being of the people and be thou a kind
comforter to all the inhabitants of the world. Ask and pray to God that
thou mayest become an enkindled lamp, to shed light upon the assembly, to
become a lover of men and a well-wisher of human kind; nay, rather, thou
mayest become the manifestation of the divine providence, finding out the
heavenly gifts, enlisting thyself among the soldiers of the kingdom of
peace and reconciliation, deliverin
