"O thou who art attracted to the Light of Guidance!..."

O thou who art attracted to the Light of Guidance!
| |
2 |
Verily, I read the signs of thy thanks to God, for
He hath guided thee unto the Path of the Kingdom,
dispelled the darkness, caused thee to enter into the
light of faith, and awakened thee to the proof and
argument. This is through the grace of thy Lord,
the Merciful, who hath chosen thee for His knowledge
and hath adorned thy head with the crown of His love
which is scintillating in the apex of glory and
beneficence.

Verily, I beseech the Threshold of Mercifulness to
kindle the lamp of light within thy heart, so that thy
breast may thereby be dilated and thy soul rejoiced.

Thou art present in spirit in a meeting (in Acca)
in which the gifts of God are radiating, even though
thou art remote in regard to body in the far away land.

As to thy coming here now, this is not in accord
with the wisdom revealed in the Gospels. But the time
shall come and thou wilt attain to the gifts of thy Lord.
But for the present, make thy tongue fluent in praising
thy clement Lord at every moment and time, so that
thou mayest attain to all good under the shadow of
the Lord of Generosity and Beneficence.
