O thou who art attracted to the Holy Fragrances!

The light of truth hath made thine eyes to see, the
voice of God hath made thine ears to hear and the
lights emanating from the beauty of the Light of the
World both made thine heart attracted and astonished.
I hope that thou wilt cut thyself from all that is in this
world; wilt sever thyself from all desires of this transitory
world; wilt attach thy heart entirely to the light
of truth and wilt, at all times, rise in the service of
truth in the rose-garden of God.

The deriding of the enemy addeth to the joy of the
heart and taunting of the ignorant becometh the
means of spirituality and fragrance.

Observe that the Pharisees called His Holiness, the
sweet and the divine Christ, Beelzebub or the head of
evil spirits. This people (the people of the world)
are in the depths of ignorance and their reproach and
detraction are like praise and congratulation.

I hope that, in the path of the love of God, thou
wilt exert thyself exceedingly and thus wilt enjoy life.

The letter which thou hadst written to Mrs. ......
was perused by me. Indeed, its contents were indicative
of divine knowledge and showed that thou art
really attracted to the Beauty of God. Thou hast very
well explained the question of the progress of man in
the higher stations and his reaching the life eternal.
This explanation is indeed from the confirmation of the
Holy Spirit.
