ill satisfy thee
from aught else save God and make thee above all needs and will cause thee
to acquire an immortal wealth. Then thank God for this heavenly bounty on
which the life of spirit depends entirely in all the worlds.

"O ye two birds in the open-space of the Love of God!..."

O ye(54) two birds in the open-space of the Love of God!

Verily I read your letter and I inhaled therefrom a spiritual fragrance
which perfumes the nostrils of the spirit. Thank ye God that He hath
filled for you the cup of gift with the wine of the great guidance and
hath abundantly bestowed His benefit on you and hath enabled you to be
healed from spiritual ailments which deaden the souls. Truly, I say unto
you verily this guidance is a precious pearl and a gem, the lights of
which glitter and the rays of which beam forth during centuries and ages.
Appreciate ye its value and show forth spiritual virtues, merciful
characteristics and brilliant manners; so that ye may be submerged in the
seas of great mercy and shine forth from the horizon of mighty gift.

feelings of thy heart and the loftiness of thy thoughts and the craving of
thy spirit for the Kingdom of God were expressed.

Thank thou God that He hath given thee a power for discriminating the

heart overflowing with His love and hath exhilarated thee with the wine of
His knowledge.

I beg of God to entirely remove the veiling from thine insight, so that
thou mayest become duly cognizant of the teachings of Baha'. And I beg of

earthly world and prevent it from its wishes and appetites.

As to the spiritual meeting which ye have organized for diffusing the
fragrances of God (i.e., for teaching the Truth), this is a good thing
that ye have performed. I beg of God, to make the Holy Spirit breathe
there in such fragrances which may perfume all regions.

Be not grieved at the smallness of your number and thank God for the power
of your spirits. He shall assist you with such a confirmation whereat
minds will be astonished and souls will be amazed.
