The ascension of the Greatest Holy Leaf is, indeed, an irreparable loss to us all and will continue
to be deeply felt for many, many long years. Her
presence among us was such a source of blessings
and inspiration! She was to every one of us not only a
friend but a real mother, through whose maternal
care and love we had learned to feel and experience
that consuming love which is born of God and
which alone can galvanize the souls of men.

Her departure from our midst, though cruel and
heart-rending in its immediate results cannot but
ultimately serve the very best interests of the Cause.
For this invincible Faith of God has, ever since its
inception in darkest Persia, grown and flourished
amidst all sorts of tribulations and sufferings and has
welcomed all these as providential forces destined to
ensure its unity, promote its interests and consolidate
its work.

Let us, therefore, not remain disconsolate and
hopeless and withstand in a heroic way the shock
occasioned by the passing of our beloved Khánum.
Her ascension is a challenge to us all, a challenge to
our faith, to our sincerity and to our love.

May her memory continue to strengthen and
deepen our spiritual insight and enable us to render
the Faith as many services as we can.
