O ye
[1]
sincere ones! O ye firm ones! O ye heralds of
the Kingdom of God!

Fly away with joy! Flutter in the open of the Kingdom!
Spread the wings of sanctity in those districts
and lands, so that the shadow of the King of the Kingdom
may be stretched over those climes and the fragrances
of God be diffused in those tracts and in those
vast and extensive regions.

By the Lord of the Kingdom! If one arise to promote
the Word of God with a pure heart, overflowing
with the love of God and severed from the world, the
Lord of Hosts will assist him with such a power as
will penetrate the core of the existent beings.

As to ye, be rejoiced, O ye children of the Kingdom
of God! Your faces will surely become illuminated,
your brows shining, your breasts dilated with an abundant
bounty and refreshed with a rain pouring from
the clouds of the gift of God. You will find yourselves
as souls for the temple of the contingent world and as
arteries pulsating in the body of the universe. Your
faces will shine with the light of favor throughout all
environments.

5 |
Make your feet firm; withstand the creeds (or multitudes);
chant the Book; and explain mysteries through
an inspiration on the part of your Exalted Lord, the
possessor of glory and honor!
