O ye beloved ones! It is the moment of the ecstasy of the soul and
consciousness and the season of running in the arena of sacrifice! Show ye
kindness to all; be ye engaged in the refinement of the souls. Become ye
as ignited lamps and adorn ye the orchard of being! These days are swiftly
passing and this mortal life will remain fruitless and without result.
Therefore, while there is yet time and the arrow is in the bow, enter ye
the chase and strike ye the game. This game is the good-pleasure of God,
and this chase is the merciful Providence; that is, living in accord with
the divine instructions.

"O Thou Pure God!..."

O Thou Pure God!

Thou art the Seer and the Hearer! Thou art the Powerful and the Mighty!
The fame of Thy Most Great Cause hath traveled forth and radiated from all

all times dilated with the Fragrances of Thy Holiness. The faces are all
turned toward Thee; the hearts are captive of Thy Abode, and the souls are
athirst for the Salubrious Water of Thy River. The call of Thy Greatest
Name hath caused a mighty reverberation throughout all the kingdoms, and
the Power of Thy Consummate Word hath unfurled Thy Ensign to the East and
to the West! The favored ones supplicate with the utmost humility, and the
righteous ones are in an attitude of soulful invocation to the Kingdom of
Beauty.

O my God! Assist Thou all of them and pour upon them the showers of Thy
Supreme Confirmations; so that they may become the cause of the
tranquility of the world of creation; to be the servants of the human
race; to become, with all their hearts and souls, the real friends of all
nations; to become with the utmost joy and fragrance, the spiritual
companions of the adherents of all religions; to dispel the darkness of
strangeness and to spread the lights of friendship in this transitory
world!

O God! Grant Thou to all of them an Asylum in Thy Neighborhood and gladden
their hearts and impart to them rejoicing through Thine Incomparable
bounties! Thou are the Omnipotent and the Mighty! Thou art the Seer and
the Hearer!

"O ye real companions! Day and night Abdul-Baha..."

O ye real companions! Day and night Abdul-Baha is engaged in the
remembrances of the friends, and time after time doth he associate with
them and behold their blessed faces. I ent
