"O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!..."
| |
1 |
O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!
| |
2 |
Be rejoiced for my mentioning thee and gladden
thine eyes by the bounty of thy Lord. Know, verily,
that His favor unto thee is great, great; for He guided
thee unto the Merciful Light, confirmed thee in bearing
calamities and hardships in the path of God, on
the part of the neglectful ones.

There is no harm in any affliction which befalleth
thee in the love of El-Baha, for this affliction is a gem
which glistens and shines on the crown of guidance
which adorns thy head among the maid-servants. Remember
the hardships of the disciples, and what Mary,
the Virgin; Mary, the Magdalene; and Mary, the
mother of Jesus, bore in the path of God; especially
Barbara, until she was martyred in the love of Christ;
and she being attracted unto the Kingdom of God, her
spirit soared unto the summits of holiness in the paradise
of eternal life, in the place of Meeting.
