I received thy brilliant letter and became pleased with
its beautiful contents. Shouldst thou desire to add perception
and understanding, to become fully aware of the
mysteries as deposited in the Holy Books and to spread
the divine significances, it is incumbent upon thee to be
straightforward in the right Path, to be firm in the
teachings and to be patient under the great test. he
who is steadfast shall grow and he who is straightforward
shall succeed.

I supplicate God to grant thee power wherewith thou
wilt confront the beliefs of all regions and innumerable
nations; and to make it possible for thee to come hither
in a convenient time when no obstacles exist, but now
there are many obstacles in the way of thy coming.
However, if thou turn thy face thoroughly to God, He
will grant thee wisdom and power which maketh thy
words to penetrate the hearts as the spirit penetrate
the body.

O thou maid-servant of God! Thou must leave
