"O thou attracted one!..."
| |
1 |
O thou attracted one!
| |
2 |
Thy letter was an evidence of the happiness and
rejoicing of thy heart and soul and a proof of knowing
the True One and severing thyself from all else save
Him. When thou beholdest with the eye of Truth,
then thou wilt realize that in this world neither known
or unknown, neither kind father or beloved son, mother
or sister, help us. No persons assist except the Benevolent
Almighty.
| |
3 |
When thou knowest Him, thou art independent from
all else. When thou art attached to His love, then
thou art detached from every kith and kin.
| |
4 |
O thou attracted one of the Kingdom! Complete
thou the study of the art of music and sacrifice thyself
more or less to the Lord of the Kingdom.
| |
5 |
The spiritual lily reached [me] in the world of the
Merciful and its sweet fragrance perfumed the nostril.
[1]
I ask God that thou mayest find a soul overflowing with
glad-tidings, seek a heart of joy and attain to tthe beautiful
ideal! That thou mayest sever thyself from this
world and soar up to the Universe of the Creator!
