IN THE NAME OF GOD

2 |
This servant, after that grievous event and great calamity, the
ascension of His Holiness `Abdu'l-Bahá to the Abhá Kingdom, has
been so stricken with grief and pain and so entangled in the troubles
(created) by the enemies of the Cause of God, that I consider that
my presence here, at such a time and in such an atmosphere, is not
in accordance with the fulfilment of my important and sacred duties.

For this reason, unable to do otherwise, I have left for a time
the affairs of the Cause both at home and abroad, under the supervision
of the Holy Family and the headship of the Greatest Holy
Leaf
[1]
until, by the Grace of God, having gained health, strength,
self-confidence and spiritual energy, and having taken into my
hands, in accordance with my aim and desire, entirely and regularly
the work of service I shall attain to my utmost spiritual hope and
aspiration.
