"O thou who art firm in the Covenant!..."

O thou who art firm in the Covenant!

The letter which thou hast written to his honor,
Mirza ......, was received. Its contents imparted
the utmost happiness. Thank God that thou hast
crossed the ocean of the East and the West, reached
to the Goal of Desire and attained to the visit of the
Holy Threshold.

Although the length of thy stay in this Most Great
Prison was very short, yet I hope that it may become
like unto the oil, which no sooner comes in touch with
the fire than it becomes ignited. Therefore, God willing,
important results will be the outcome of this visit.

O thou who are firm in the Covenant! Be thou firm
in the Cause and be engaged in service. Awaken the
souls and make mindful the (heedless) minds. The
spiritual outpouring will become uninterrupted and the
meetings of heart to heart constant. Rest thou assured
upon the favor and bounty of the Beauty of ABHA.

I became very sad upon hearing the news of the
death of Mr. ......, but I implored and entreated
the Threshold of Oneness and sought mercy in his behalf.
Convey my greeting and love to his son and say:
Do thou not lament on account of the death of thy
father. Trust thou in God. Rely upon the Kingdom
of ABHA. That father of thine hastened to the world
of immortality and took a share from the realm of the
Merciful and with the utmost joy hath attained to eternal
life in the everlasting universe. Walk thou also in
the footsteps of thy father and be characterized with
his attributes and qualities. Enkindle thou his lamp
and fructify his garden, so that thou mayest become his
real son and worthy of the favors and gift of the
Almighty.~***
