"O thou who art attracted unto the Beauty of God!..."

O thou who art attracted unto the Beauty of God!

Verily I have read thy excellent letter and was gladdened
by its wonderful meaning. Blessed art thou, as
thou hast been kindled like a lamp by the fire of God's
love and as thou hast supplicated unto God and communicated
with thy Lord with an eloquent tongue and
excellent explanation.

Verily I pray unto my Lord with all humbleness,
meekness, obedience and submissiveness--which demolisheth
every edifice of self-exaltation--that He shall
strengthen thee by the fragrances of holiness and the
breath of the Spirit of Truth and cause thee to be dedicated
(or severed) unto God, purged and purified
from the dross of the world, holy and sanctified from
carnal passions, sacrificing thy soul to the beloved of
God, contented with that which the Lord hath granted
thee in the world, anxious to perform noble and good
deeds while following the teachings of god, and in all
things adhering to the law of God!

As God liveth! shouldest thou be honored by attaining
to this station, thou wilt find thyself in the center
of the Paradise (Ferdowce), the highest of paradises!
