"O thou who art longing for the Orb of the Horizons!..."

O thou who art longing for the Orb of the Horizons!
[1]
| |
| 2 |
Verily, I read thine eloquent, accurate and wonderful
letter, whereby the feelings of thy heart and the
loftiness of thy thoughts and the craving of thy spirit
for the Kingdom of God were expressed.
| |
| 3 |
Thank thou God that He hath given thee a power
for discriminating the reality of things, hath made thy
feet firm in the Path, hath made thy heart overflowing
with His love and hath exhilarated thee with the wine
of His knowledge.
| |
| 4 |
I beg of God to entirely remove the veiling from
thine insight, so that thou mayest become duly cognizant
of the teachings of Baha'. And I beg of God
to forgive thy sins and to illumine thy face with the
light of forgiveness, so that thou mayest conquer the
self which desires the earthly world and prevent it
from its wishes and appetites.

| 5 |
As to the spiritual meeting which ye have organized
for diffusing the fragrances of God (i. e., for teaching
the Truth), this is a good thing that ye have performed.
I beg of God, to make the Holy Spirit breathe
there in such fragrances which may perfume all
regions.
| |
| 6 |
Be not grieved at the smallness of your number and
thank God for the power of your spirits. He shall assist
you with such a confirmation whereat minds will be
astonished and souls will be amazed.
