O thou who hast approached toward God!

Verily I have received thy letter and my heart was
dilated by the content of thy expression, for it indicated
the illumination of thy heart, the spirituality
of thy soul, thy detachment from all the grades of this
nether world and thy yearning after the effulgences of
the Realm of Light.

By the glory of my Lord, I declare: "Verily the
splendors of divinity are continually descending upon
the pure, enlightened souls and the outpouring of the
Kingdom fall tumultuously, like unto torrents, upon the
favored realities from the rains of the providence of
thy Lord, the Merciful, the Clement!

"Cast behind every single thought and idea and attach
thyself to the commemoration of thy Master, the
Ancient. Be thou soaring in the Kingdom of God,
the Mighty, the Beneficent. Live thou in Paris until
the fragrance of the love of God may emanate from
thee in the college wherein thou art studying sciences
and unfurl thou the standard of universal peace, reconciliation,
agreement and security among all men. Rejoice
thou by the bounty of thy Lord which hath
encompassed the whole existence and sing and warble
with the most wonderful melody in the rose-garden of
knowledge. Verily thy Lord, the Beneficent, will confirm
thee in every moment and second and will empower
thee with such a power that the columns of warfare
and bloodshed shall shake and the foundation of peace
and harmony shall arise."
