itual and divine "chaplet" is the
Word of God and the Sun of Truth which penetrateth the reality of the
created things and attracteth the entire soul of man in the world of
existence and shineth forth unto all horizons (or regions). Hast thou ever
perceived a greater "chaplet" than this? No! by the Splendor of Baha'!

Verily, I yearn for the visit of those souls who are cheered, dilated and
moved by and attracted to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

"O thou who art awakened to the Cause of God!..."

O thou who art awakened to the Cause of God!

Verily, I read thy letter and my heart was rejoiced at thine interesting
