"O thou maid-servant of God!..."

O thou maid-servant of God!

Thy detailed letter was perused. On account of the
multitude of occupations and work, a brief answer is
written. This brief Tablet is most significant. Thou
art forever in my memory and in reality thou art present.
Thou art never forgotten!

Blessed is thy state that thou art firm in the Covenant
and steadfast in the Cause of God. Rest thou
assured of the bounty and providence of the Heavenly
Lord. Be thou rejoiced! Be thou a merciful being!
Be thou illumined! Associate with all the maid-servants
of the Merciful with utmost love and kindness,
also with other women of the world.

I have prayed for the outpouring of the blessing
upon those souls for whom thou hast asked supplication
of the Holy Spirit (in their behalf). I hope that they
may become quickened through the breeze of life wafting
from the garden of immortality and be gladdened
with utmost happiness and joy. But the capacity is necessary
for the descent of rain, and preparation of
soil is of great importance. The heavenly outpouring
will develop from the pure ground roses and hyacinths.
We also hope that such things will appear from them.

Convey my respectful greeting to the attracted maid-servant
of God ......... I am always engaged in
her remembrance, beseeching for her merciful gifts
from the Heavenly Father. Utmost bounty is extended
toward her.

6 |
Exert thyself in studying the Persian language in
order that with perfect eloquence and fluency thou mayest
talk, read and write.

7 |
Know thou the value of ........ for she hath an
illumined heart and a soul gladdened with the love of
God. She hath presented herself at this Blessed Spot,
hearing the utterances of Abdul-Baha with her own
ears. Blessed is she, and again, blessed is she!
