THOU OF A CERTAINTY THAT LOVE IS THE SECRET OF ...
Know thou of a certainty that Love is the secret of God's holy
Dispensation, the manifestation of the All-Merciful, the fountain of
spiritual outpourings. Love is heaven's kindly light, the Holy Spirit's
eternal breath that vivifieth the human soul. Love is the cause of God's
revelation unto man, the vital bond inherent, in accordance with the
divine creation, in the realities of things. Love is the one means that
ensureth true felicity both in this world and the next. Love is the light
that guideth in darkness, the living link that uniteth God with man, that
assureth the progress of every illumined soul. Love is the most great law
that ruleth this mighty and heavenly cycle, the unique power that bindeth
together the divers elements of this material world, the supreme magnetic
force that directeth the movements of the spheres in the celestial realms.
Love revealeth with unfailing and limitless power the mysteries latent in
the universe. Love is the spirit of life unto the adorned body of mankind,
the establisher of true civilization in this mortal world, and the shedder
of imperishable glory upon every high-aiming race and nation.
Whatsoever people is graciously favoured therewith by God, its name shall
surely be magnified and extolled by the Concourse from on high, by the
company of angels, and the denizens of the Abha Kingdom. And whatsoever
people turneth its heart away from this Divine Love--the revelation of the
Merciful--shall err grievously, shall fall into despair, and be utterly
destroyed. That people shall be denied all refuge, shall become even as
the vilest creatures of the earth, victims of degradation and shame.
O ye beloved of the Lord! Strive to become the manifestations of the love
of God, the lamps of divine guidance shining amongst the kindreds of the
earth with the light of love and concord.
All hail to the revealers of this glorious light!
