"O thou servant of God!..."
| |
1 |
O thou servant of God!
| |
2 |
I was assuredly informed of thy confessing the unity
of God and that thou hast drawn from the ocean of the
gift of God and thine insight hath brightened by the
light of guidance and by the dependence of thine heart
upon the lights of the Beauty of God. The, glad-tidings
be unto thee for this bounty which God hath
assigned unto every holy and spiritual being in the Kingdom
of God.

By the life of God! verily, the gift of guidance, during
this great century and this age of lights, is greater than
reigning over the earth and all that is in it; because the
earthly reign is mortal, banishing, imaginary and of no
permanence; but this gift is permanent, eternal, everlasting
and endless. consequently, it is confirmed that
this (gift of guidance) is greater than the sovereignty
of the world.

4 |
O servant of God! Rejoice, announce glad-tidings and
be filled with the Spirit and preach and call in the Name
of God in that region and hear the good-tidings of God
in that land!
| |
5 |
Thou shalt hear the sound of this glorious bell in every
near and distant region, and the call of the True One
will be elevated in the monasteries of the world of mankind,
just as it was elevated in the assmeblies of the
divine world, and the earthly people will be combined
with the divine and heavenly concourse.
| |
6 |
Thereupon thy heart shall rejoice, thy soul shall become
pure, thine eye shall brighten and thou shalt be
inwardly revived. Praise be upon thee!
