"O thou who art set aglow with the Fire of the Love of God!..."
| |
1 |
O thou who art set aglow with the Fire of the Love of God!
| |
2 |
Verily, I read thy long letter and was informed of
thy visions, which art for whosoever follows the path
of the Kingdom of God.
| |
3 |
These visions repeat themselves, pass away, and appear
to the human sight every instant; but the matter
which hath stability and upon which confidence is laid, is
the bounty of the Kingdom of God and the Center of
Lights.

As to the zodiac of the stations of the Sun of Truth,
it is the station of the attainment of the mystery of
sacrifice, whereupon the lights of love, harmony and
salvation shine forth and the manifestation of firmness
dawns, in a cause unendurable by the lofty mountains.
| |
5 |
I ask God to confirm thee therein and to make thee
a sign of salvation, a banner of progress, a spreader of
the fragrances of God and a caller in the Name of God.
| |
6 |
Shouldst thou make firm thy feet in the love of God
and hold steadfast to the Great Cause, God will reveal
unto thee mysteries unheard by the ears and incomprehensible
by the intellects.

As to thy question regarding the meeting of trinity,
it is incumbent on thee to make it a meeting of unity,
an exposition of the mysteries of singleness, the elevation
of the standard of universal love, the spreading of
the knowledge of thy Merciful Lord, the guidance of
the souls unto the path of the Kingdom of God, the
animation of the hearts by the spirit of the love of
God, and the purification of the eyes by the light of the
knowledge of God.
| |
8 |
Verily, I pray God to confirm thee in lighting the
lamp of God's love in the hearts and spirits. It is
incumbent on thee to organize a spiritual assembly in
that city, wherein the mysteries of the Kingdom of thy
Lord be spread and this wondrous Manifestation
promulgated.
| |
9 |
This is beneficial for thee both in the world and in
the Kingdom, and all else vanisheth away.
