be unto thee that thou hast become the object
of such county and hast attained to the Kingdom of the
Lord of Hosts. I hope that thou mayest progress day
by day in the spiritual attributes, the beauty of deeds,
the knowledge of the True One and the love of God,

threshold of the Almighty.

O thou maid-servant of God! The utmost desire of
the lordly ones is the union of the friends, the agreement
of the believers and the spiritual communication
of the hearts; in order that they may shine in this darkened
world like unto bright stars; educate all the communities
of the world like unto bright stars; educate all the communities
of the world in the precepts of love; be kind
and benevolent to every one, sympathetic and compassionate
to all; to become the cool and pure water to
every thirsty one, a heavenly table to every hungry one,
a swift healing antidote to every sick one and the cause
of the everlasting glory to every humiliated one.
