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

O thou who art firm in the Covenant!
| |
2 |
Supplicate God that thou mayest be confirmed to
what is worthy and fit for the Most Mighty Cycle.

Deliver my respectful greeting to Mr. ........ and
refresh him with regards and affection. Convey my
longing greeting to [Messrs.] ........., ........
and ........ and say [to them] to engage with Mr.
........ in the service of the Word of God with the
utmost love and affinity, in order that they may behold
the confirmation of the Supreme Kingdom and observe
the protection and preservation of His Highness the
Almighty. Truly their hearts are like unto a cup,
overflowing with the wine of the love of God and at
all times I expect to hear good news of them.

O thou dear friend! Thou hast said the truth!
Last year
[1]
was the time of test for all the friends.
Trials for the faithful believers are like unto divine
bestowal and everlasting gifts.

The firmness and steadfastness of the person will
become evident and manifest. How could the disciples
of His Holiness (Christ) attain to any spiritual development
if they did not undergo trials and tests!
| |
6 |
O friend! Although we are weak, yet the confirmations
of the Merciful Lord are inexhaustible. Pray
thou that the ill-natured become good-natured and the
weak become strong.

7 |
The dream thou hast seen is in accord with thy interpretation.
I hope that Mr. ........ may become the
light of the Merciful One and be confirmed and assisted
to spread the Cause of God.
