ested with a great calamity!

Be not grieved nor troubled because of the loss which hath befallen thee--a
loss which caused the tears to flow, sighs to be produced, sorrow to exist
and hearts to burn in great agony; but know, this hath reference only to
the physical body, and if thou considerest this matter with a discerning
and intelligent eye, thou wilt find that it hath no power whatsoever, for
separation belongeth to the characteristics of the body. But concerning
the spirit, know that thy pure son shall be with thee in the Kingdom of
God and thou shalt witness his smiling face, illumined brow, handsome
spirit and real happiness. Accordingly, thou wilt then be comforted and
thank God for His favor upon thee.

"O thou who art patient and resigning thyself to the..."

O thou who art patient and resigning thyself to the judgment (of God)!

Be not grieved at the calamity which hath unexpectedly come upon thee and
for the misfortune which heavily weigheth upon thee. It behooveth one like
thee to endure every trial, to be pleased with the decree and to commit
all thy affairs to God, so that thou mayest be a calm, approved and
pleasing soul before God. Know thou, that thy beloved son hath soared,
with the wing of soul, up to the loftiest height which is never-ending in
the Kingdom of God. Rejoice at this great prosperity which the chosen ones
were longingly asking from the Holy and Exalted Threshold (of God). Truly,
I say unto thee, wert thou informed of the position in which is thy son,
thy face would be illuminated by the lights of happiness and thou wouldst
thank thy forgiving Lord therefor and thou wouldst long for ascending to
that praiseworthy position.

"O thou who hast humbled thyself before the Kingdom..."

O thou who hast humbled thyself before the Kingdom of God!

Blessed art thou that thine heart is attracted to the Beauty of God, is
illumined with the light of knowledge and the ray of the Kingdom hath
shone within it.

Know thou, verily, God is with thee under all circumstances and guards
thee from the concerns of the world and makes thee a servant in His great
vineyard.

As to thy question concerning training children: It is incumbent upon thee
to nurture them from the breast of the love of God, to urge them towards
spiritual matters, to turn unto God and to acquire good manners, best
characteristics and praiseworthy virtues and qualities in the world of
humanity, and to study science
