men laden with years, fair and graceful youths.

Praise be unto God! What an effect there lies in divine guidance! It
endoweth the blind with sight, granteth strength to the impotent, maketh
the darkened ones illuminated, changeth youth to the aged; nay, rather it
breatheth life into the dead!

O thou maid-servant of God! If thou seeketh after a work which is brighter
and more attractive, sweeter and more delightful than all the affairs, it
is the thralldom in the Threshold of the Almighty and servitude to His
Highness the Lord of Might.

Forget thou entirely the ease, tranquility, composure and living of this
transitory world and occupy thyself with the well-being and the service of
the human world and conduct thyself in accord with the advices and
exhortations of God.

"O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!..."

station and condition; this is my blazing crown; this is my glorious
throne; because my servitude to the Holy Threshold is my brilliant light,
my shining star and my drawn sword; and beside this I have no other name.

Then know that for the dominion of the reality of Christ there is no
beginning and there is no end. Everlastingly that luminous Entity hath
been sitting on the throne of might and everlastingly It will have a
penetrating dominion over the worlds of existence. This dominion is
