O thou who hast turned thy face toward the Kingdom!

What thou hast written was read. Convey my loving
greeting to ......... and say: "Every soul who
was deprived of the Kingdom of God in the day of
Christ was disappointed in the other world. Now be
thou a seeker of Truth with all thy soul and heart and
receive thou the reflection of guidance, so that thou
mayest not become sad and disappointed in the other
realm."

O my Juliet! In this glorious age the divine confirmations
are like unto the rays of the sun. The hearts
and souls are like unto the surface of crystal. The
clearer the crystal the greater the refulgence of the sunlight.

Praise be to God! that the door of servitude is already
opened before thy face. Therefore, be thou the
cause of happiness to the souls of the friends of God;
impart thou attraction and exhilaration to others and
suffer them to quaff the wine of bounty from the cup of
the most great guidance, in order that they may open
wings like unto birds and soar upward, upward to the
realm of the Kingdom.

Thou hast written: "So that the friends may discover
the Truth, become like unto a flaming torch and
change the darkness of that country into illumination."
This statement was of the utmost sweetness. My heart
was rejoiced by reading it. The second statement of
thy letter was this: "In order that we may demonstrate
this manifest light to others through deeds and actions."
This also was of the utmost eloquence and beauty.

O thou maid-servant of God! The penetration of
the word of man dependeth upon the heat of the fire
of the love of God. The more the splendors of the
love of God become manifest in the heart, the greater
will be the penetration of the Word.

I hope that thou, O my Juliet, with ........., will
become confirmed in the service and arise to the good
pleasure of the True One.
