O thou seeker after the Kingdom! Every divine Manifestation is the very
life of the world, and the skilled physician of each ailing soul. The
world of man is sick, and that competent Physician knoweth the cure,
arising as He doth with teachings, counsels and admonishments that are the
remedy for every pain, the healing balm to every wound. It is certain that
the wise physician can diagnose his patient's needs at any season, and
apply the cure. Wherefore, relate thou the Teachings of the Abha Beauty to
the urgent needs of this present day, and thou wilt see that they provide
an instant remedy for the ailing body of the world. Indeed, they are the
elixir that bringeth eternal health.

The treatment ordered by wise physicians of the past, and by those that
follow after, is not one and the same, rather doth it depend on what
aileth the patient; and although the remedy may change, the aim is always
to bring the patient back to health. In the dispensations gone before, the

Therefore, in this age of splendours, teachings once limited to the few
are made available to all, that the mercy of the Lord may embrace both
east and west, that the oneness of the world of humanity may appear in its
full beauty, and that the dazzling rays of reality may flood the realm of
the mind with light.

The descent of the New Jerusalem denoteth a heavenly Law, that Law which
is the guarantor of human happiness and the effulgence of the world of
God.

Emmanuel(26) was indeed the Herald of the Second Coming of Christ, and a
Summoner to the pathway of the Kingdom. It is evident that the Letter is a
member of the Word, and this membership in the Word signifieth that the
Letter is dependent for its value on the Word, that is, it deriveth its
grace from the Word; it has a spiritual kinship with the Word, and is
accounted an integral part of the Word. The Apostles were even as Letters,
and Christ was the essence of the Word Itself; and the meaning of the
Word, which is grace everlasting, cast a splendour on those Letters.
Again, since the Letter is a member of the Word, it therefor
