O thou who art advancing toward the Kingdom of
God!

I received thy letter and was informed of the content
of thy speech.

Know thou, verily, Baha' was the Sun of Love and
Peace, who shone forth with the Light of Guidance and
was a Spirit of Life to all regions. The signs of His
effulgence shall appear when the love of God shall influence
the hearts, just as the soul influenceth bodies.
The clouds of darkness shall be dispelled from the manifest
light of love and peace, and from the abundant
bounty of reconciliation and tranquillity.

As to thee: Do not look at thy weakness and impotence;
nay, look at the power of thy Lord, which
hath surrounded all regions. The sea of forgiveness
hath moved and the waves of pardon and beneficence
have submerged the people of sin. Be isolated from
the grades of self and desire, so that thou mayest succeed
in that which behooveth the service of the Kingdom
of God, and that thou mayest be healed from
every disease and sickness.

As to the "white dove," it is the Holy Spirit. It
shall flutter over thee and over the head of the beloved
of God.

Verily I beseech God to assist thee with the spirit of
knowledge and enable thee to be good and benevolent
to all the people of religions.
