truthful believers!

Your letter was received. It contents were faith,
certainty and sincerity. It was an evidence of perceiving
eyes, attentive ears and acute mind. Were it not
so, ye would not have witnessed the lights of the Sun
of Truth, heard the divine Call, nor attained the knowledge
of God.

Although in body we are far from one another,
yet -- praise be to God! -- with life and heart we are
present in one assembly; we enjoy the spiritual meeting,
abide under the shadow of one Blessed Tree, are
attracted to the beauty of one Beloved and gaze in the
direction of one Object. Therefore, be not sorry on
account of the remoteness, but rather engage in the
commemoration of God and praise Him. I hope that
we may be together in all the worlds of God.

O God! Rear this little babe in the bosom of Thy
love and give it milk from the breat of Providence.
Cultivate this fresh plant in the rose-garden of Thy
love and nurture it by showers from the clouds of
Providence. Make it a child of the Kingdom and lead
it to the divine world. Thou art powerful and kind!
Thou art the Giver, the Bestower, whose blessings
precede all else!
