"O thou who art wholly advancing unto God!..."

O thou who art wholly advancing unto God!

Verily I have read thy letter in answer to mine and
praised God--may glory and dignity be unto Him!--
for by reason of which He hath kindled the lamp of
guidance in the glass of thy heart, lighted in thy breast
the fire of love and faithfulness, illumined thy face with
the light of His knowledge among women and chosen
thee for spreading His fragrances amid the maid-servants.
Be happy and rejoice at this speech through
which the sick will recover, the sad become cheered, the
dumb speak and the deaf hear; rather, the decayed
bones will be quickened and the rocks and stones be
affected.

Remember my spiritual favors which have uninterruptedly
descended upon thee at the table which was
spread under the abundant gifts of the Kingdom of
God. Verily, I continue supplicating God to make to
grow from the luxuriant garden of the heart the
aromatic plants of His knowledge, through the abundant
rain pouring froth from the clouds of His Kingdom,
the Most Great; that thou mayest be a herald of
the Covenant in those regions and a preacher of the
Kingdom of God in those distant isles.

Blessed thou art for this letter. Glad-tidings unto
thee for this speech!
