"O thou Thahbet (Firm) in the Covenant!..."

O thou Thahbet (Firm) in the Covenant!

Thy letter was received. It indicated firmness and
steadfastness; therefore, it gave me joy and gladness.

Today the greatest of all affairs in the Cause is
firmness and steadfastness. A tree will not give fruit
unless it be firmly rooted. A foundation will not last
unless it be firm. There is nothing in this world of
man greater than firmness. A soul who is firm will become
a son of the Kingdom of God and will be confirmed
with the power of the Holy Spirit.

For this reason I have named thee Thahbet (meaning
firmness) and I ask the True One and supplicate
Him that thou shalt remain firm in the Cause of God
as an unshakable mountain and that the whirlwinds of
test shall never have any effect upon thee; nay, rather
that thou shalt be the cause of the firmness of others.

With me thou art beloved and I ask God that thou
mayest become the lighthouse of guidance in those regions
and that thou mayest shine with the lights of oneness
in this world of man.
