2 |
By the life of God, I am moved with joy by the
mention of the beloved and delighted in the love of the
elect! And now, with a heart clear from aught else
save God and overflowing with the love of God, I
mention thee, supplicating God to make thee a lamp
of guidance in those districts, that out of thee the spirit
of knowledge may be spread upon the hearts and spirits
until thou becomest a spring of fresh and sweet water
whereto the thirsty and earnest desirers will come to
drink, and thus be satisfied with the sweetness thereof.
