al death are in a certain condition, having
feeling and discernment in their environment, but in comparison with the
pure souls who have been vivified by the Holy Spirit, they are as dead and
deprived.

For example: The mineral kingdom in comparison with the vegetable is
lifeless; also the existence of the animal kingdom in comparison with that
of man is death. The meaning is not that the neglectful souls will be
non-existent.

Give my loving greeting to all the servants of God and the sharers of
divinity.

"O thou attracted one!..."

O thou attracted one!

Thy letter was an evidence of the happiness and rejoicing of thy heart and
soul and a proof of knowing the True One and severing thyself from all
else save Him. When thou beholdest with the eye of Truth, then thou wilt
realize that in this world neither known or unknown, neither kind father

music and sacrifice thyself more or less to the Lord of the Kingdom.

beautiful ideal! That thou mayest sever thyself from this world and soar
up to the Universe of the Creator!

"O thou beloved maid-servant of God!..."

O thou beloved maid-servant of God!

Thy letter was received and from the rose-garden of its significances
sweet fragrances were inhaled. Thank God that thou hast found guidance,
become knowing, attached thyself to the Lord of the Kingdom and attained
to spiritual attraction.

Thou hast asked permission to come in the presence. If the means are
brought about that traveling may be made with utmost ease, thou hast
permission.

"O thou spiritual leaf who art verdant and well-watered..."

O thou spiritual leaf who art verdant and well-watered by the outpouring
from the Kingdom of God!

Verily, I beseech His Presence, the Mighty and the majestic One, to
enlighten the mind through the lights gleaming from the summit of the
Kingdom, and by which thy tongue shall become eloquent with the
remembrance of th
