Law of God, and Jerusalem,
and the hills and land thereof, are filled with the glory of His
Revelation. Happy is the man that pondereth in his heart that which hath
been revealed in the Books of God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
Meditate upon this, O ye beloved of God, and let your ears be attentive
unto His Word, so that ye may, by His grace and mercy, drink your fill
from the crystal waters of constancy, and become as steadfast and
immovable as the mountain in His Cause.
In the Book of Isaiah it is written: "Enter into the rock, and hide thee
in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty." No
man that meditateth upon this verse can fail to recognize the greatness of
this Cause, or doubt the exalted character of this Day--the Day of God
Himself. This same verse is followed by these words: "And the Lord alone

mention of all that hath been revealed in these heavenly Books and holy
Scriptures concerning this Revelation, this Tablet would assume impossible
dimensions. It is incumbent in this Day, upon every man to place his whole
trust in the manifold bounties of God, and arise to disseminate, with the
utmost wisdom, the verities of His Cause. Then, and only then, will the
whole earth be enveloped with the morning light of His Revelation.

All glory be to this Day, the Day in which the fragrances of mercy have
been wafted over all created things, a Day so blest that past ages and
centuries can never hope to rival it, a Day in which the countenance of
the Ancient of Days hath turned towards His holy seat. Thereupon the
voices of all created things, and beyond them those of the Concourse on
high, were heard calling aloud: "Haste thee, O Carmel, for lo, the light
of the countenance of God, the Ruler of the Kingdom of Names and Fashioner
of the heavens, hath been lifted upon thee."
Seized with transports of joy, and raising high her voice, she thus
exclaimed: "May my life be a sacrifice to Thee, inasmuch as Thou hast
fixed Thy gaze upon me, hast bestowed upon me Thy bounty, and hast
directed towards me Thy steps. Separation from Thee, O
