"O thou daughter of the Kingdom!..."
| |
1 |
O thou daughter of the Kingdom!
| |
2 |
I hope, from the Almighty, that thou mayest be confirmed
to the necessities and conditions of the following
address; that is, to forget this world of possession,
become wholly heavenly, become embodied spirit and
attain to universal mind. This arena is vast and unlimited;
therein the charger of spirit must move swiftly,
for here one cannot travel by foot. This gift is very
great but complete and sufficient capacity is necessary.

3 |
O thou daughter of the Kingdom! The moment
thou presented thyself in this prison, at the time of meeting,
I realized that thou wouldst become attracted and
attain to spiritual communication, such communication
that as soon as the mirror of the heart is cleansed from
the rust of worldly thoughts, immediately thou shalt
find me reflected therein, and all the mountains, seas
and deserts annihilated. Thou art present and
visible and under all circumstances thou art protected
by the glances of the Spirit.
| |
4 |
Print the account which thou hast written about thy
trip to Acca and spread it.
| |
5 |
Shouldst thou become entirely attached to the Kingdom
of Abha, thou shalt find the Holy Spirit always
thy companion and shalt behold the spiritual confirmations
uninterrupted.
| |
6 |
Convey in my behalf the utmost love and kindness
to each and all the friends and maid-servants of the
Merciful.
| |
7 |
Upon thee and upon them to Baha-el-Abha!
