"O thou art attracted by the Fragrances of God!..."
|
1 |
O thou
[Addressed to the Secretary of the House of Spirituality.]
art attracted by the Fragrances of God!
|
2 |
Verily I say unto thee the truth, that I am with you in spirit
and in heart, that I rejoice by your joy and am happy
by your happiness; and hear with the ear of spirit your
calling and scent with the spiritual nostrils the fragrances
of your garden.

3 |
O ye friends of God! Arise from the corporeal beds
(bodies) and ask for the divine favors, so that ye become
revived by the Holy Spirit through the breath
which the Spirit breathes into the souls.

By the glory of my Lord, there will be for your brilliant
assemblage an evident sign and great effects in the
spirits and the hearts. Therefore, gladden the friends
of the Merciful with the glad-tidings of thy Lord in
this time, and convey to them greeting from Abdul-Baha
in this promised century, so that they may arise
with me in servitude to the Threshold of El-Baha.
