assisting in the spiritual meeting. Ere long thou shalt know what a light
thou hast enkindled.

"O thou who hast been attracted by the Magnet of the..."

O thou who hast been attracted by the Magnet of the Kingdom!

Note that thy Lord hath manifested the Magnet of the souls and hearts in
the Pole of the existing world, to which all the sacred hearts are
attracted from the far distant lands and countries.

The iron body is attractable although at long distances away; but the
earthen one is not although in contact and very close.

Therefore, thank thou God for being an attractable body, to be drawn to
the Magnet of the Kingdom of God.

"O thou whose heart hath been filled with the love of..."

O thou whose heart hath been filled with the love of the Beauty of God!

I have read thy kind letter and voiced thy words which show the excess of
thy love to God, the greatness of thine adherence to the Cause of God and
the abundance of thine attraction to the Kingdom of God. From a man like

I do greet thee from this Exalted Place, while thou art in that far
distant country, and present to thee salutations and praise, and I see

every blessing! Then preach to the beloved of God in that country the
glad-tidings of El-Baha!"

Thy creatures and the banner of thy gift in Thy Kingdom.

Make me one of Thy worshippers who cut themselves from everything but Thee
and sanctify themselves from everything pertaining to the world and divert
themselves from the defects of the suspicious.

Let my heart be dilated with joy through the spirit of confirmation from
Thy Kingdom and illumine my sight with seeing the hosts of success
following one another and descending upon me from thine Omnipotence.

Thou art the Almighty, the Invincible, the Powerful!

"O thou who art turned to the Kingdom!..."

O thou who art turned to the Kingdom!

In truth, I say unto thee that if a spark of the fire of the love of god
should fall into a heart, its
