Indeed, you have adorned yourself with the qualifications of faithfulness and are striving to fulfil
the requirements of servitude to the Abhá
Threshold. You have been inebriated with the wine
of the love of God, have quaffed your fill at the
banquet of loyalty to His Faith and have caused the
seekers of truth, those that are sore athirst for the
life-giving waters of His grace, to drink from the
heavenly stream of true understanding. This was
indeed most fitting and appropriate. For in this
grievous calamity, this distressing bereavement, the
best consolation and solace that the spiritual souls
could offer is to dedicate themselves to the service of
the Cause, to diffuse widely the sweet savours of
holiness, to become wanderers in the path of that
heavenly Best-Beloved, to let their whole beings
burn and melt, and be enkindled with the fire of His
love. Such indeed is the effective remedy, the most
potent cure for this irreparable agony, for this
aching of the heart and soul. There is no other
remedy.

Praise be to God that the effusions of celestial aid
from the Abhá Kingdom are unceasing and the
outpourings of heavenly grace from the Concourse
on High uninterrupted. You should not think that
your memory may ever, even for a moment, be
removed from the minds of these oppressed ones, or
that your remembrance may fade from the hearts of
these exiled servants. The Abhá Beauty bears me
witness and `Abdu'l-Bahá is my testimony that no
word can possibly express how indissoluble are the
ties of spiritual communion and fellowship that bind
us to the loved ones of God and to the handmaids of
the Merciful.
