O thou who warmest thyself by the fire of the love
of God, spreading from the Tree of the Covenant!
Let thy soul be at ease and thy heart in peace concerning
the perfect success and progress which the pen is not
able to express, for in a short time thou shalt see the
flag of the Kingdom waving in those far and wide
regions, and the lights of the Truth shining brilliantly
in its dawn above those horizons, and thou shalt know
that thou art the center of the circle of the love of God,
the axis around which souls revolve in their way and
supplication to God. Therefore, thou must widen thy
heart, dilate thy breast, have patience in plenty, calmness
of soul and cut thyself from everything but God!
By God, the truth is, if thou goest according to the
teachings of El-Abd
[Servant, meaning Abdul-Baha.]
and followest the steps of Him
who is annihilated in God, thou shalt see that the
cohorts of the Kingdom of God will come to thy help,
one after another, and that the hosts of the Might of
God will be in thy presence in steady succession, the
gates of the great victory opened and the rays of the
brilliant morning diffused! By thy life, O my beloved!
if thou didst know what God hath ordained for thee,
thou wouldst fly with delight and thy happiness, gladness
and joy would increase every hour! El-Baha be
upon thee!
