"O ye dear servants of God!...."

O ye
[To three maid-servants at Chicago.]
dear servants of God!

Your letter received and the contents proved excellent.
That which is the desire of you hearts is the
utmost hope of the daughters of the Kingdom; that is,
they wish to sacrifice themselves for the Beauty of Abha
[Baha'o'llah.]
and offer their lives for His Holiness, the Supreme.
[The Bab.]

In reality, the radiant, pure hearts are the Mashrak-el-Azcar
and from them the voice of supplication and
invocation continually reacheth the Supreme Concourse.

I ask God to make the heart of every one of you a
temple of the Divine Temples and to let the lamp of
the great guidance be lighted therein; and when the
hearts find such an attainment, they will certainly exert
the utmost endeavor and energy in the building of the
Mashrak-el-Azcar; thus may the outward express the
inward, and the form (or letter) indicate the meaning
(or reality).
