THIS WORLD A MIRAGE
| |
1 |
O beloved of God! Know ye that the world is like unto a mirage
which the thirsty one thinks to be water; its water is a vapor; its
mercy a difficulty; its repose hardship and ordeal; leave it to its
people and turn unto the Kingdom of your Lord the Merciful.
Thus the lights of mercy and beneficence may shine upon you,
the heavenly table descend for you, your Lord may bestow upon
you the greatest gifts and favors, whereby your breasts may become
dilated, your hearts gladdened, your souls purified, and your eyes
enlightened.

2 |
O beloved of God! Is there any giver save God? He chooseth for
His mercy whomsoever He desireth.
| |
3 |
He shall open unto you the doors of His knowledge, fill your
hearts with His love, rejoice your spirits by the wafting of His
holy fragrances, illumine your faces by the Manifest Light and
elevate your names among the people.
