able and everlasting.

Indeed the peoples of the world spend their days in idle imaginings,
wholly oblivious to the Truth. Know of a certainty that the ornament of
life is to be arrayed with the vesture of praiseworthy conduct and be
attired with the crown of goodly deeds.

All the members of the family and myself are enjoying excellent health and
we send our loving greetings and best wishes to you and to all the beloved
friends there. I earnestly beseech from His holy Threshold that He may
purge you from every affliction, grant you perfect health and may aid you
to serve His sublime Cause in this glorious Day.
