"O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!..."

O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!

Verily, I read thy words of thanksgiving to God, for
He hath guided the beloved of God and His maid-servants
to the light of guidance and given them to
drink the cup filled with the wine of the most mighty
gift. Verily, I beseech the Divine Might to strengthen
them by the Holy Spirit in all times and circumstances
so that they may be firm in the Cause of God and steadfast
in love for Baha', a firmness and steadfastness resembling
that of immovable mountains and lofty hills.

O maid-servant of God! Deliver my greetings,
praise and longings to the beloved of God and His
maid-servants in that remote region, and say unto them:
| |

"Hasten, hasten to the fountain of the mercy of God!
Hasten, hasten to enter into the Kingdom of God!
Hasten, hasten to the effulgence which is shining like
unto the sun from the Supreme Horizons throughout
ages and cycles!
| |

"O beloved of God and His maid-servants! Verily
the Beauty of El-Abha hath endured every hardship,
calamity and great affliction in love for you, so that ye
may be directed by the lights of the Kingdom unto the
King of the Realm of Might, and be shining as a brilliant
light in the glass of the contingent world. Hasten
to avail yourselves of the opportunity to enter [the protection
of] the inaccessible Cause and lofty Shelter!

"Truly I say unto you, this is a gift which neither the
dominion of the world, nor the riches of treasuries, nor
the glory of the distinguished men of the world, can
equal in this glorious century and new age; inasmuch as
crowns are transient, while this is eternal and never
ending."

7 |
O my Lord! O my Lord! Strengthen them in
whatsoever Thou willest, with that Thou willest, upon
what Thou willest!
