"O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!..."
|
1 |
O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!
|
2 |
I have read thy recent letter and noted its beautiful
contents.
|
3 |
I thank God that He hath opened thy sight for thee,
unfolded to thee His word of love and chosen thee from
among women.
|
4 |
Thus thou responded to the call, east attracted to
the lights of the Kingdom of the Lord of Manifest
Signs, proclaimed the Truth and called in the Name
of the Lord of the high heaven.
|
5 |
O maid-servant of God! This day is not a day of
seclusion and solitude, but a day of proclaiming the
manifestation of the light of the Beauty of thy
Supreme Lord.
|
6 |
Therefore, abandon silence and seclusion and solitary
nooks and go forth into the arena of explanation.
Convey the Message of thy Lord with clearest speech
and most complete elucidation. This is better for thee
than solitude.
|
7 |
The season of seclusion in quiet nooks is the season
of winter when the cold and the winds increase. But
during the spring, the wafting of gentle breezes, the
passing of fragrances from the rose, the state of
equilibrium in the atmosphere and the green hue of
valleys and prairies, it is best for man to leave solitude
and enjoy out-of-door blessings. Thus be thou happy
in the commemoration of thy Lord.
|
8 |
Go out from the solitary place like unto a shining
star blazing on its horizon. This is better for thee in
the Kingdom of the Lord of the worlds. Thus, hearken
unto the melodies of the birds of holiness, in the garden
of fellowship, upon the branches of purity; to the
murmuring of its waters, the rustling of the trees, the
blowing of its breezes and the cooing of its doves.
