and conduct themselves in such
a manner so that they may become distinguished above other people in
sanctity, prayerfulness and humility. I hope that thou mayest attain to
this station and become the cause of the diffusion of the Manifest Light.

[Tablet Translated October 31, 1913]

O thou dear daughter!

Thy letter was received. It became the cause of infinite rejoicing for it
expressed eloquently thy faith and thy turning thy face toward the Kingdom
of God. This light of guidance which is ignited in the lamp of thy heart
must become more brilliant day by day and shed its light to all parts.
Therefore, if thou travelest toward Japan unquestionably Divine
confirmations shall descend upon thee.

Convey the utmost kindness to Mrs. ... on my behalf and say: The doors of
the Kingdom of God are open, the Call of the Lord of the Kingdom is
raised, the Bestowals of the Almighty are endless and the effulgence of
the Sun of Reality has illumined the East and the West. In such a time
patience and tranquility are not allowable. Thou must engage with infinite
joy and happiness in the mention of the Forgiving Lord.

[Tablet of August 4, 1914]

O thou my dear daughter!

Thy letter was received. It imparted great happiness. Praise be to God
that that dear daughter is sacrificing herself in the path of Baha'u'llah
and enduring every difficulty.

It is now more advisable for thee to depart directly to Japan and while
there be engaged in the diffusion of the fragrances of God. From there
thou mayest return to India and from India to the Holy Land.

Today the greatest of all divine bestowals is teaching the Cause of God
for it is fraught with confirmations. Every teacher is confirmed and is
favored at the Divine Threshold. In the estimation of the Ideal King, the
army which is in the front of the battlefield is encircled with the
glances of His mercifulness and in the sight of the Divine Farmer, the
sower of the seed is accepted and favored.

I hope that thou mayest be like unto a realm conquering army and a farmer,
therefore thy voyage to Japan is preferred to everything else. Still thou
are perfectly free.
