nor were they attracted to the fragrances of truth; nor were they ever
baptized by the water of life, by the fire of the love of God, nor by the
"Spirit of Truth" which speaketh in the assemblies of the Kingdom and
breatheth upon spirits the breezes which waft an eternal glory, the signs
of which are everlasting.

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

O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!

I was informed of thy recent letter which indicated thine abundant love
for God, thine attraction to the Kingdom of God and thy reliance upon the
Word of God.

Verily, I address thee, with the tongue of my spirit, such an address
which is life to hearts and souls, light to existent beings and is joy and
fragrance. Hearken unto this address and be dilated in breast for the
emanation of this letter.

Be thou a breath of life, a banner of salvation and a manifest sign in
this great world, so that thou mayest become a lamp of reconciliation and
peace, a banner of love and attraction, a star of guidance among mankind,
(and be thou) humble, meek and a servant to the maid-servants of the
Merciful One. Unfurl the sail of spirit on the ship of guidance and hoist
the banner of piety in those regions, so that the everlasting light may
shine forth upon all parts.

Verily, I am cognizant of the sincerity of thine intention and the purity
of thine heart. Therefore, I address thee with this great address, so that
thou mayest impart the "Greatest Name" to whomsoever thou findest prepared
for entering the Kingdom of God.

We have sent letters for the names which were written in thy letter. We
have also sent [stones of the] Greatest Name and roses which express the
redness of my blood which I beg of God to be shed in the path of God.

Then, know thou, verily, I will always associate thee with the fragrances
of the Spirit and will continually rejoice thee at the glad-tidings of
god. I beg of God to enable thee to diffuse the spirit of life (i.e., to
teach this truth0, to herald the Kingdom of God, to speak the praise of
God and to be wholly attracted to the Word of God, so that thou mayest
become a well-rooted tree in the garden of the Kingdom, its fruits within
reach, its wide-spread branches overshadowing those regions.

"O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of Holiness!..."

O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of Holiness!

Verily, I read thy words in which thou hast thanked
