O thou Secretary of the meanings emanated from the hearts of the people of
the Kingdom.
Verily, I have read thine eloquent letter and brilliant writing, which
indicated the attraction of the people of God by the fragrances of His
Kingdom, and their gathering in the assembly of the merciful feelings and
the congregation of the upright.
I do supplicate God to confirm that spiritual assembly, that gathering of
commemoration, to that whereby the merciful faces brighten, and I beseech
Him to assist them and thee to that whereby man ascends the highest and
noblest station of excellence and the loftiest apex of honor, to make them
humble and courteous before the beloved of God, to become severed from
aught else save God, to beseech the Kingdom of ABHA, to be freed from
every mention save the commemoration of God, and to be sanctified from all
the grades of passion and desire, with pure, holy hearts which are devoid
of every feeling except entire attention unto God, the Lord of the present
and the world to come.
I have written answers to the letters which thou hast sent and I enclose
them with this Tablet. I wrote also a Tablet to the assembly(56) ; read it
unto them with a fluent tongue and a heart overflowing with the love of
God.
"O ye who have advanced! O ye who are rejoiced!..."
O ye(57) who have advanced! O ye who are rejoiced!
Verily, God hath, through His grace and generosity, guided you toward His
Kingdom, hath facilitated unto you every good, hath favored you with the
bounty of guidance, hath made you signs of piety, hath caused a blessing
to descend upon you from heaven, and hath made you banners of His
commemoration among mankind.
Thank ye God for this gift, by reason of which the hearts of the Supreme
Concourse are exhilarated. The fragrances of holiness shall soon be
diffused and the breeze of grace shall blow from the direction of the
providence of your Lord, whereby your mentioning will be exalted, your
light will become scintillating, your backs will be strengthened and you
joy will be perfected.
Make you feet firm in the love of God, arise to carry on the teachings of
God, purify souls from desire and illumine faces with the light of
guidance; so that ye may obtain the might gift and the great mercy.
