"O thou who art advancing toward the Kingdom!..."
| |
1 |
O thou who art advancing toward the Kingdom!
| |
2 |
Thy letter was received. From its contents it became
known that thou hast turned thy face toward His Highness,
the Merciful One, after the reading of the Book
of Ighan
[1]
, and hast become a new creation.
| |
3 |
I trust in the favor of the True One, that thy sisters
and brothers may likewise attain, and that thou mayest
become confirmed with the confirmation of the Holy
Spirit, in order that thou mayest be the cause of teaching
many souls, and guide every person with whom thou
hast association and intercourse.
| |
4 |
I ask from God that thou mayest be the cause of the
awakening and mindfulness of thy father and mother,
and that many of thy friends may rend asunder the
veils of superstition and behold the Light of Truth.
| |
5 |
O thou advancer toward the Kingdom! Endeavor
thou day by day to increase thy yearning and attraction,
so that the attitude of supplication and prayer may be
realized more often.
| |
6 |
If we do not meet in this physical word, I ask from
God that we may meet in the realm of vision, and that
day by day the revelation of the Kingdom may become
greater. ***
| |
7 |
Convey my respectful greeting to Mr. ... I
hope that he will become confirmed and assisted in his
voyage to India; and that the power of the Word of
God will penetrate in such wise in those parts (India)
that Mr. ... himself will stand astonished and
add to his faith and assurance.
