r all the creatures.

Consequently, O thou who art attracted by the fragrances of God, exert
thyself and fail not to infuse affection throughout all hearts and souls;
[fail not] to gather all the souls together in the assemblage of union and
cheerfulness, so that the beloved of God may become as a levied army of
the Supreme Concourse and as a host of salvation descending from the
Kingdom of ABHA and conquer the countries of hearts and the cities of
souls with their tongues, similar to sharp swords whereby fortresses and
castles are conquered.

By the Life of God! Verily I love thee with all my heart and pray for thee
every eve and morn that the forgiving Lord may enable thee to serve in His
excellent vineyard and make thee a sign of His signs, to cause thee to
deliver His Cause, diffuse His breath (and I beg of Him) to strengthen
thine honorable wife to that which behooveth these days. Verily He is the
Giver of Confirmation in all circumstances!

"O thou who art assuredly believing in God!..."

O thou who art assuredly believing in God!

Verily, I read thy brilliant letter and thanked God for that He hath
created a maid-servant for Baha', who prays for Abdul-Baha and beg the
confirmation and assistance of God in his behalf, because I am earnestly
fond of the prayer of the maid-servants of God in my behalf and of their
asking the blessing of God for this servant!

I begged of God to ordain all good unto thee for thy praying for
Abdul-Baha.

"O thou who art turning unto the Kingdom of God, and..."

O thou who art turning unto the Kingdom of God, and looking unto the
Day-spring of the lights of God!

I, with the utmost joy and cheerfulness, have perused the contents of thy
letter, which shows thy faith in God, thy assurance in the Kingdom of God,
the gladness of thy breast in hearing the voice of God and the adherence
of thy heart to the word of God.

O servant of God! rejoice through the glad-tidings of God, be happy by the
wafting of the fragrance of God, and cling to the Kingdom of God in such
wise that it makes thee separate thyself from the world and kindle in thy
heart the fire of the love of God to such an extent that any one who
approaches thee will feel its warmth; and if thou desirest to attain to
this station, thou shouldst turn thyself wholly unto God. Perhaps an
illumination will descend upon thee by which the fragrances of God will be
diffused throughout those regions and districts
