"O thou whose heart hath been filled with the love of..."
|
1 |
O thou whose heart hath been filled with the love of
the Beauty of God!
|
2 |
I have read thy kind letter and voiced thy words
which show the excess of thy love to God, the greatness
of thine adherence to the Cause of God and the abundance
of thine attraction to the Kingdom of God. From
a man like unto thee such words are always expected
and it is your duty thus to proclaim.

3 |
I do greet thee from this Exalted Place, while thou
art in that far distant country, and present to thee salutations
and praise, and I see thee with the eye of the
heart as though thou were present here and I speak to
thee by the tongue of the Spirit, saying: "Blessed thou
art with every blessing! Then preach to the beloved
of God in that country the glad-tidings of El-Baha!"

4 |
The form of prayer requested by thee:
My God! my God! thou art my hope and mybeloved, my intended aim and desire! With great
humbleness and entire devotion I pray to Thee to make
me the minaret of Thy love in Thy region, the lamp
of Thy knowledge among Thy creatures and the banner
of thy gift in Thy Kingdom.
|
5 |
Make me one of Thy worshippers who cut themselves
from everything but Thee and sanctify themselves
from everything pertaining to the world and
divert themselves from the defects of the suspicious.
|
6 |
Let my heart be dilated with joy through the spirit
of confirmation from Thy Kingdom and illumine my
sight with seeing the hosts of success following one
another and descending upon me from thine Omnipotence.
|
7 |
Thou art the Almighty, the Invincible, the Powerful!
